This change was announced 2 years ago as far as I recall, and was discussed on the TV during the coverage of Wimbledon this year.

I agree Mojack, some of them looked awful and untidy.

I must admit it is nicer without all the chairs and bits and pieces they surrounded them with, much clearer at other tournaments that have already changed. I always thought it's dangerous to the players on some courts.

Love my tennis but at least I won't have to look at the outdated outfits....🤣Will be weird though

Terrible idea! Replacing humans yet again!
Will they be replacing the players soon too?
The umpire?
Whatever next? Dehumanising sports

It’s a pity that the traditional lines people won’t be there, I quite like looking at them. Usually they are very formally stiff, but then you get ones that have little quirks!
I really should focus on the tennis.😂
