The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Replay technology will make its debut at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Competitors are granted the ability to question certain calls from the official, echoing the practice already in operation at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
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 show courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This step follows just a season following the AELTC rolled out ELC, which terminated the longstanding role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to challenge the call of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the umpire to review specific situations, such as:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a shot touched an rival's racket or body during play.
- Potential interference end of a rally.
Importantly, there will be no limit on the amount of reviews a competitor can ask for.
A Recent Example
A recent incident took place in Indian Wells recently, where a top player initiated the video challenge against Jack Draper.
Draper admitted it was a difficult call for the official, but believed his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a replay and determined Draper was responsible for hindrance, awarding the point to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
This technology are not new for major tournaments. The system has been in use at the American major since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit plans to have video reviews implemented at all of its tournaments.
Other Changes
Another innovation at Wimbledon this year will be the addition of graphical cues on scoreboards to complement the audio calls from the ELC system.
This solves instances where spectators have occasionally been uncertain if a ball was out or in.
In other news, with exactly a century of days remaining until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have further announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
