Will 'sport's best dressed officials' be missed at Wimbledon?

Former Wimbledon line judges share their experiences and insights as the tournament transitions to electronic line calling. For some, like Pauline Eyre, the allure was the unique experiences, natty blazers, and proximity to tennis legends like John McEnroe and Jana Novotna. The shift marks the end of an era at Wimbledon after 148 years of line judges, a change that some view as progress while others mourn the loss of tradition and unique personalities on the court. The move to digital systems may be practical, but it also signals a shift away from the distinctive charm that made Wimbledon iconic.
