The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in implementing replay technology.
Video review technology will be launched at The Championships in the upcoming tournament.
Athletes will gain the ability to contest certain decisions from the chair umpire, echoing the protocol already in place at both the US Open and the Australian Open.
This technology will be accessible on Centre Court and the number one court throughout the Championships and on the other four featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This step arrives only a year after the All England Club rolled out ELC, which effectively ended the longstanding tradition of line officials.
Scope of Challenges
Competitors cannot to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the official to review other decisions, including:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a shot made contact with an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Potential hindrance end of a point.
Notably, there is an unlimited number on the amount of challenges a player can initiate.
Practical Application
A recent example took place in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a difficult call for the umpire, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a replay and ruled the player was responsible for hindrance, granting the point to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews are not new for Grand Slams. The system has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Australian Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by next season the ATP circuit will have video reviews in place at every one of its events.
Additional Innovations
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 will be the introduction of visual indicators on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This solves instances where spectators have occasionally been uncertain whether a shot was in or out.
In other news, with precisely 100 days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, organizers have also announced an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
