The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in implementing video review technology.
Replay systems are set to arrive at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Players will gain the option to challenge particular decisions from the official, following the practice already in use at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
This technology will be operational on Centre Court and Court One throughout the Championships and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This step arrives only a year after the AELTC rolled out electronic line calling, which effectively ended the centuries-old tradition of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors cannot to dispute the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can ask for the official to review specific situations, such as:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball made contact with an rival's racket or body during play.
- Potential interference at the conclusion of a point.
Importantly, there will be no limit on the number of reviews a player can initiate.
A Recent Example
An illustrative example occurred in Indian Wells recently, where a top player initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper admitted it was a difficult call for the official, but thought his opponent had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire viewed a replay and determined Draper was responsible for interference, granting the point to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews are not exclusive to major tournaments. The system was adopted at the American major for two years and the Australian Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have the system in place at all of its events.
Further Updates
Another innovation at The Championships 2025 will be the introduction of graphical cues on displays to complement the audio calls from the ELC system.
This addresses situations where the crowd have occasionally been unsure if a shot was in or out.
Finally, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the Championships, organizers have further announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
