Wimbledon goes hi-tech with Shot Tracker

Whodathunk Wimbledon — with its sober traditions, dutiful curtseys, and annual Tiger Tim emotional drubbing — would be the latest showcase for high tech gadgetry? Well, the All England Lawn Tennis Club staff are currently flaunting wireless IP telephones and "Internet-enabled handheld computers" with television feeds in an effort to keep the courts cable-free and security keen to the exact status of the players they must protect. Moreover, Shot Tracker (or Hawkeye)
provides a three-dimensional animated image of every rally not just to commentators, players or coaches but now to punters and yobs alike on the wimbledon.org site.
