The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in employing replay systems.
Video review technology will be launched at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Players will gain the ability to challenge particular calls made by the chair umpire, following the system already in use at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system is slated for use on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the tournament and on the other four show courts when they are staging singles matches.
This development arrives only a season following the AELTC implemented electronic line calling, which brought an end to the 147-year tradition of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the official to re-examine other decisions, such as:
- If a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a shot touched an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Potential hindrance at the conclusion of a rally.
Importantly, there is no cap on the amount of reviews a player can request.
A Recent Example
A recent example took place in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
Draper admitted it was a difficult call for the umpire, but thought his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire viewed a replay and ruled the player was responsible for interference, granting the point to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews aren't new for major tournaments. It has been in use at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour plans to have the system in place at all of its events.
Further Updates
Another innovation at The Championships this year involves the addition of graphical cues on scoreboards to complement the audio calls from the ELC system.
This addresses situations where fans have occasionally been uncertain if a ball was in or out.
In other news, with precisely a century of days to go until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have further revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
