LONDON (AP) \u2014 Wimbledon will use video review technology for the first time at this year’s tournament, the All England Club announced Saturday.<\/p>\n
The oldest Grand Slam tennis tournament will have the technology available on Centre Court, No. 1 Court \u2014 the club’s second-biggest stadium \u2014 plus four other show courts.<\/p>\n
Players will be allowed to review specific calls made by the chair umpire \u2014 such as double bounces.<\/p>\n
Video review made its Grand Slam tennis debut at\u00a0the 2023 U.S. Open. The Australian Open also uses the technology.<\/p>\n
Centre Court and No. 1 Court will have video review available throughout the tournament, which starts on June 29, and the technology will be used on No. 2 Court, No. 3 Court, Court 12 and Court 18 for singles matches.<\/p>\n
Players will not be limited in the number of reviews they can request.<\/p>\n
Video review is separate from the electronic line-calling used for ruling balls in or out.<\/p>\n
Last year, Wimbledon replaced line judges with electronic line-calling, though it\u00a0wasn’t without hiccups.<\/p>\n
The grass-court major is also adding visual indicators for electronic line-calling on scoreboards showing \u2018out\u2019 and \u2018fault\u2019 calls.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis enhancement has been made as a result of feedback following the adoption of live electronic line-calling last year,\u201d the All England Club said in Saturday’s announcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LONDON (AP) \u2014 Wimbledon will use video review technology for the first time at this year’s tournament, the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":551163,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-551162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=551162"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551162\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/551163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=551162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=551162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=551162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
