Summary: Player faith in technology shaken by AI line-calling at Wimbledon (7 July 2025)
Wimbledon’s first full switch to electronic line-calling (ELC) has been marred by controversy and technical failures, shaking player confidence. Despite claims of improved accuracy (2.2mm margin of error via Hawk-Eye), notable errors and outages have occurred:
- Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper criticized the system after disputed calls in their losses.
- A major incident during Pavlyuchenkova’s match revealed that ELC cameras on one side were accidentally turned off, forcing a point replay. Pavlyuchenkova accused the tournament of “stealing” the game, though she went on to win.
Wimbledon officials insist the system is accurate and blamed human error, promising new safeguards. However, trust in the AI-powered system has declined, especially after shaky rollouts on clay courts earlier in the season. With skepticism growing among players and coaches, it’s unclear if confidence will recover during the rest of the tournament.
