The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in implementing replay technology.
Video review technology will be launched at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Athletes are granted the ability to contest specific calls from the official, mirroring the practice currently in operation at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This technology will be accessible on the main stadium and the number one court throughout the Championships and on the other four show courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This move comes just a season following the AELTC introduced ELC, which effectively ended the longstanding role of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the official to review other decisions, including:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- If a ball touched an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Potential hindrance end of a rally.
Importantly, there will be no cap on the number of reviews a player can ask for.
Case in Point
A recent incident occurred in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
Draper admitted it was a difficult situation for the official, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire watched a video and determined Draper was responsible for hindrance, awarding the rally to his opponent.
Growing Trend
Video reviews are not new for Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews in place at every one of its tournaments.
Further Updates
A further innovation at The Championships 2025 involves the addition of graphical cues on displays to support the audio calls from the ELC system.
This addresses instances where fans have occasionally been unsure if a shot was out or in.
Finally, with exactly 100 days to go until the beginning of the Championships, organizers have further announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
