The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Video review technology will be launched at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Players are granted the option to question specific rulings from the official, following the system already in place at each of the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
The new system will be accessible on Centre Court and the number one court throughout the Championships and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This step arrives only a season following the All England Club implemented ELC, which effectively ended the 147-year tradition of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors cannot to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but they can request the umpire to re-examine specific situations, including:
- Whether a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- If a shot touched an rival's racket or person during play.
- Possible interference at the conclusion of a rally.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the number of reviews a competitor can initiate.
A Recent Example
A recent case took place in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the video challenge against his opponent.
The British player admitted it was a tough situation for the official, but thought his opponent had "played the rules quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a video and determined Draper was guilty of interference, awarding the rally to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews are not new for Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the American major for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the ATP circuit plans to have video reviews in place at all of its events.
Additional Innovations
A further innovation at The Championships 2025 will be the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This solves situations where fans have occasionally been unsure whether a ball was out or in.
Finally, with precisely 100 days to go until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have further revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
