The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in utilizing video review systems.
Replay systems will be launched at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players are granted the option to challenge certain calls made by the chair umpire, following the system already in operation at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.
This innovation will be operational on the main stadium and the number one court throughout the tournament and on the other four show courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This step comes just a year after the AELTC implemented electronic line calling, which terminated the longstanding role of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players cannot to dispute the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can ask for the official to review specific decisions, including:
- If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a shot touched an opponent's racquet or person during play.
- Potential interference at the conclusion of a point.
Notably, there is an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a competitor can ask for.
A Recent Example
A recent incident took place in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a tough call for the umpire, but believed his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a replay and ruled the player was responsible for interference, awarding the point to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology aren't new for major tournaments. It has been in use at the American major for two years and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the ATP circuit will have the system implemented at all of its tournaments.
Further Updates
Another innovation at Wimbledon 2025 will be the addition of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where fans have sometimes been uncertain whether a ball was in or out.
Finally, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
