Wimbledon in Crisis: Tech Failures, Player Fury Over Curfew | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G

Wimbledon 2025 was supposed to be a bold step into the future — but instead, it's turning into a tale of imbalance between tradition and technology. From honouring the late Diogo Jota with a rare break in its 148-year dress code, to disastrously replacing line judges with a glitchy electronic system, the tournament has come under heavy fire. The tipping point? A tech failure during Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova’s match saw the system completely shut down — leaving players and fans furious. Add to that the bizarre curfew rule that halted matches like Ben Shelton publicly calling out the tournament’s rigid traditions and inconsistent innovation. As momentum is lost, frustrations rise, and credibility takes a hit — Rupha Ramani asks - is this the temple of tennis, or just a grand slam stuck in the past?
