The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in implementing replay technology.
Video review technology are set to arrive at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players will gain the ability to question particular decisions from the chair umpire, following the practice currently in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
This technology will be operational on Centre Court and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This development follows just a year after the All England Club introduced electronic line calling, which brought an end to the centuries-old role of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors cannot to dispute the call of the ELC system, but are allowed to request the official to re-examine other situations, such as:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- If a ball touched an opponent's racquet or person during play.
- Possible hindrance at the conclusion of a point.
Importantly, there is no limit on the number of challenges a player can ask for.
A Recent Example
A recent case took place in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the video challenge against his opponent.
Draper conceded it was a tough call for the umpire, but believed his rival had "played the rules quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and determined the player was guilty of interference, granting the rally to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. It has been in use at the American major for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour plans to have the system in place at every one of its events.
Other Changes
Another innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where spectators have sometimes been uncertain if a ball was out or in.
In other news, with precisely 100 days remaining until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have also announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
