The Wimbledon tournament will replace its lines judges with an electronic system. The news broke 3 weeks ago, which is like an eternity in today’s fast-paced times, and the world hasn’t stopped turning since then, we have to admit. I even believe that this information, which went relatively unnoticed, did not upset many people beyond what my sporting colleagues called the tennis world (in the days of Jean-Paul Loth).

It’s a shame. For what? Because there are many things to say about it. The oldest tennis tournament in the world cannot make such a heavy decision after 147 years of existence without us taking an interest together in what is happening on the London lawn. In this case, and you suspect, much more than a game of tennis.
