A top former Wimbledon line judge has hit out at the tournament’s switch to automated calls, saying it makes the court “look like bad Photoshop”.
Pauline Eyre, 58, from Finchley in north London, officiated at 16 Wimbledons between 1988 and 2003, serving on Centre and Court One during finals and high-profile matches including Goran Ivanisevic vs Andre Agassi and Serena vs Venus Williams.
