The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in implementing video review technology.
Replay systems will be launched at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players are granted the ability to question particular calls from the chair umpire, echoing the protocol currently in operation at each of the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This innovation will be accessible on Centre Court and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining show courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This development comes just a year after the All England Club implemented ELC, which brought an end to the longstanding role of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players cannot to challenge the call of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the official to re-examine other decisions, such as:
- If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a shot touched an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Possible hindrance end of a rally.
Notably, there is no limit on the amount of challenges a competitor can initiate.
Case in Point
A recent example took place in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
The British player conceded it was a tough situation for the official, but thought his opponent had "played the rules quite well."
The umpire watched a video and ruled the player was responsible for interference, awarding the rally to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. It was adopted at the American major for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews implemented at every one of its tournaments.
Other Changes
Another change at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of graphical cues on displays to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where fans have occasionally been uncertain if a shot was in or out.
In other news, with exactly 100 days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have further announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
