The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in utilizing replay systems.
Video review technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Competitors will gain the ability to question certain decisions from the official, following the system currently in place at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system will be accessible on the main stadium and Court One throughout the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This move follows just a season following the AELTC introduced electronic line calling, which effectively ended the 147-year role of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players cannot to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the official to review other situations, such as:
- If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- If a ball made contact with an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Potential hindrance end of a rally.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a player can ask for.
A Recent Example
An illustrative case took place in a recent tournament recently, where a top player initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper admitted it was a tough call for the official, but believed his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire watched a video and ruled Draper was guilty of interference, awarding the rally to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews aren't new for major tournaments. The system has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews implemented at every one of its tournaments.
Other Changes
Another change at The Championships this year will be the introduction of graphical cues on displays to support the audio calls from the ELC system.
This solves situations where fans have sometimes been unsure whether a ball was in or out.
In other news, with exactly 100 days to go until the start of the tournament, organizers have also announced an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
