America’s young tennis star Coco Gauff’s coach Brad Gilbert has called for electronic line calling from the 2025 Wimbledon championships.

“No reason why umpires don’t have monitors on court”: Coco Gauff’s coach Brad Gilbert calls for electronic line calling at Wimbledon in 2025.

America’s young tennis star Coco Gauff’s coach Brad Gilbert has called for electronic line calling from the 2025 Wimbledon championships. The third Grand Slam of the year is moving towards conclusion as the men’s and women’s final lineups have been decided.

In the men’s singles category, defending champion and Spain’s young tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz will face the current world number two Serbia’s Novak Djokovic. The 21-year-old, already regarded as one of the best players in the world, defeated Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the semifinal clash with a score of 6-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.

During the first set of the contest between Alcaraz and Medvedev, the chair umpire called a double bounce on the shot of the Russian tennis star, which left him furious. Gilbert, who is working with Gauff as a coach, has expressed his opinion about the incident in a post on the social media platform X—previously known as Twitter. The 62-year-old expressed optimism that from 2025 onwards, at least in the Wimbledon championships, there will be electronic line calling, which will end such disputes, especially in the later stages of the competition where so much is at stake.

“As I am watching Escape from Alcaraz vs Meddy Bear, I really hope in 2025 championships we go to electronic line calling, like we do @AustralianOpen @usopen also absolutely no reason why umpires don’t have monitors on court for incidentals like the double bounces etc,” he wrote.

Alcaraz will now face Serbia’s Djokovic in the final after beating Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 7-6, 6-4. The grand finale will be a repeat of last year’s final at the mega-event. In that contest, which lasted five sets, it was Alcaraz who eventually came out on top with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.
