Wimbledon 2025 is reaching fever pitch on and off the grass. Iga Swiatek has just stormed to her first Wimbledon title delivering a stunning 6–0, 6–0 “double bagel” against Amanda Anisimova in under an hour, marking the first such scoreline in a women's final since 1911. On the men’s side, Jannik Sinner dismantled Novak Djokovic 6‑3, 6‑3, 6‑4 in the semi-finals, ending Djokovic’s streak of six straight Wimbledon finals and paving the way for a blockbuster rematch with Carlos Alcaraz in today’s final. Meanwhile, teenage phenom Mirra Andreeva’s dream run ended in the semis Swiss veteran Belinda Bencic held her off after Andreeva’s spirited quarter-final surge. The heat on Centre Court is scorching, with temperatures nudging 31 °C and not just from the controversy over automated line calls, but from a relentless summer swelter that’s tested players and fans alike.
Tech Trouble: The Line Call Debate
This year, technology has taken centre stage for all the wrong reasons. Wimbledon’s fully automated line-calling system designed to bring precision and impartiality is facing intense scrutiny. Multiple players and pundits have raised concerns over dubious calls, especially during pivotal moments. Instead of clarity, the system has introduced confusion, challenging the very idea that automation equals accuracy.
Transport Chaos: A National Embarrassment
While matches rage inside the gates, chaos reigns outside. Thousands of fans were left stranded due to overcrowding and severe delays on the District Line. Long queues, sweltering heat, and logistical missteps turned travel into an ordeal. The fallout has been swift local MPs have slammed the situation, calling it a “national embarrassment” for an event of Wimbledon’s calibre.
