The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in implementing video review technology.
Replay technology will be launched at Wimbledon in the upcoming tournament.
Athletes are granted the right to challenge particular calls from the official, mirroring the system currently in place at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.
This innovation is slated for use on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This move comes just a year after the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which terminated the longstanding role of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors will not be permitted to dispute the call of the ELC system, but are allowed to ask for the official to re-examine specific situations, such as:
- Whether a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a shot touched an rival's racket or body on the way past.
- Potential hindrance at the conclusion of a point.
Notably, there is no limit on the amount of reviews a player can request.
A Recent Example
A recent example occurred in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
The British player admitted it was a difficult call for the official, but thought his rival had "played the rules effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a replay and determined Draper was guilty of hindrance, awarding the point to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews aren't new for major tournaments. It has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by next season the ATP circuit will have the system implemented at all of its events.
Other Changes
Another change at Wimbledon 2025 will be the introduction of graphical cues on displays to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where spectators have occasionally been unsure if a ball was in or out.
Finally, with exactly 100 days remaining until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have further announced an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
