Wimbledon gets under way today with line judges scrapped for the first time in the tournament's 148-year history - replaced by AI-powered technology. Some of the sport's biggest stars have descended on south-west London for the showpiece two-week event at the All England Club - including defending singles champions Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejčíková.

The controversial decision has left fans torn, with some praising the forward-thinking idea while others disliking the idea of technology taking the place of a person.
