For the first time in the tournament's history, the Wimbledon men's singles final, first played in 1877, would have a female chair umpire.
Marija Sisak, 43, of Croatia will officiate on Sunday when Novak Djokovic faces Matteo Berrettini for the championship at the All England Club.
The club announced Siaka's selection on Saturday.
She has been the Gold Badge Chair Umpire and a member of the WTA Elite Team since 2012.
Sisak was the chair umpire for the 2014 Wimbledon women's final and the women's doubles final three years later. She also officiated in the women's singles gold medal match at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
