The Australian Open looks to have seen the last of the crouching officials scrutinizing the lines of the tennis court after they were replaced by technology for this year's tournament — a move that has been largely welcomed by players.
This year's Grand Slam at Melbourne Park is the first major to replace line judges with electronic line calling, a change brought about through necessity as part of a COVID-19 health measure to reduce the number of people required on-site.
It may have deprived tennis fans of courtside drama, but the players are not complaining.
