The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in employing video review systems.
Replay technology will be launched at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players will gain the right to question specific calls made by the chair umpire, echoing the system currently in use at each of the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
This innovation is slated for use on the main stadium and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This step arrives only a season following the AELTC introduced electronic line calling, which effectively ended the longstanding tradition of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players will not be permitted to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but they can request the official to review specific situations, including:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot touched an rival's racket or body on the way past.
- Potential interference at the conclusion of a point.
Notably, there will be no limit on the number of reviews a player can request.
A Recent Example
A recent incident took place in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the video challenge against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a difficult situation for the official, but thought his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire watched a video and determined the player was responsible for hindrance, granting the rally to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. It has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit will have the system implemented at every one of its events.
Further Updates
Another innovation at Wimbledon this year involves the introduction of graphical cues on displays to support the audio calls from the ELC system.
This addresses situations where the crowd have sometimes been uncertain whether a shot was out or in.
Finally, with precisely 100 days to go until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have further revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
