For the first time in its 147 year history, Wimbledon will be removing line judges from all of its courts during the tournament.

Wimbledon will break with tradition and replace line judges with electronic line calling from next year's championships, the All England Club confirmed on Wednesday. The sight of immaculately-dressed line judges standing or crouching at the side and back of the grass courts has been a feature at the Grand Slam for 147 years.

Wimbledon has been largely unchanged since 1877. But a tweak to the Grand Slam's judging process will shake up how it's historically been run.
