The contest of Wimbledon This year the electronic singing line system (ELC) was introduced, accompanied by the doubts of some tennis players, which criticized its effectiveness.
After more than a century of using line judges to sing the boat of the balls on the track, Wimbledon joined what was the rest of the tournaments that had been done and used the electronic system, a type of hawk eye that removed the presence of people on the track and replaced it with a sensor system and a recorded scream when the ball was bad.
However, this technology is not perfect and has left many mistakes in recent days.
“I don’t think 100% accurate,” he explained Jack Draper After disappearing in the second twist against Croatian Marin Cilic.
“A couple of balls left that mark on the track. If this is bad will not be lime to them. I suppose it would not be 100% effective, because sometimes it was a millimeter,” he added.
In the same line it is Emma Raducanu After disappearing in the third twist against World Number One, Aryna Sabalenka.
“I’m sure there’s a ball they’ve given for good and it’s bad. It’s failed in the contest with decisions that are incorrect, but at most of these points are well. In my games there have been some failures for many, so I hope they can solve it,” added British’s best rank.
In addition to this inaccurate, the introduction of ELC means a way -workers participating not only in Wimbledon, but in all ATP and WTA tournaments of the circuit are left without work.
It was formed by protests around Wimbledon in the early days of the competition, under the saying “We do not want robots to replace people.”
“It’s a shame, because it’s a tradition and now there are no judges. It’s also clear that something makes life easier, because we don’t have to worry about whether a ball has been good or bad,” Draper said.
The past Roland Garros This is the last circuit tournament in which the line judges are used, as Grand Slam Parisino will be the last to release this technology from 2026.
