# Why Do Tennis Tournaments Use Different Line-Calling Systems?

I’ve watched professional tennis matches where every line call seems to come from an electronic system, and others where players still challenge individual calls. Why hasn’t **electronic line calling** become the same across all tournaments?

Are the differences mostly about cost and venue setup, or do surfaces and competition rules matter as well? I’m also wondering whether players and officials trust the systems equally in close calls.
