The technology behind the tennis: MailOnline reveals the systems powering Wimbledon Championships
The moment that tennis fans have been waiting for is finally almost here, with the Wimbledon Championships set to kick off on 27 June. Hundreds of thousands of tennis fans will flock to London's SW19 to see the world's top tennis players fight it out to become Wimbledon champion. While most fans go to Wimbledon to see the likes of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Emma Raducanu take to the courts, many are likely unaware of the impressive technologies powering the tournament. Ahead of the tournament, MailOnline's Shivali Best visited Wimbledon to hear about these technologies - including AI match insights, suggestions on underdogs to keep an eye on, and Hawk-Eye line calls. Since 2021, the Hawk-Eye electronic system has been used on all courts at Wimbledon to allow line calls to be challenged by the players.
