Centre Court at Wimbledon's All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) looks pristine ahead of the two-week grand slam tournament which begins on Monday.

The club's IT department, headed by CIO Jeff Lucas and AELTC's official technology partner IBM, have been working hard to get the tech ready in the run up to the tournament.

silicon.com went down to the club in south west London to have a behind the scenes look at the technology that keeps the championship running smoothly.
