The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in implementing replay technology.
Video review technology will be launched at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Players will gain the option to question specific decisions from the official, following the system already in place at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
The new system will be accessible on Centre Court and Court One throughout the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles contests.
This move comes just a year after the AELTC rolled out electronic line calling, which terminated the 147-year role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players will not be permitted to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the official to review specific decisions, such as:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or body during play.
- Possible interference end of a rally.
Notably, there will be no limit on the amount of reviews a competitor can initiate.
Practical Application
A recent case occurred in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
The British player admitted it was a tough situation for the umpire, but thought his rival had "played the rules quite well."
The umpire viewed a video and ruled Draper was guilty of hindrance, granting the point to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology are not new for major tournaments. The system was adopted at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews implemented at every one of its tournaments.
Other Changes
A further change at The Championships 2025 will be the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This solves instances where spectators have sometimes been unsure if a ball was in or out.
In other news, with precisely a century of days to go until the beginning of the Championships, organizers have also revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
