The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in utilizing replay technology.
Video review technology will be launched at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Athletes will gain the right to challenge specific calls from the official, echoing the practice currently in use at each of the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
The new system will be accessible on the main stadium and the number one court throughout the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This development follows just a season following the All England Club rolled out electronic line calling, which brought an end to the centuries-old role of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but they can request the official to re-examine specific situations, such as:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball made contact with an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Potential hindrance at the conclusion of a point.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a player can request.
A Recent Example
A recent incident took place in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
Draper conceded it was a tough call for the official, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire watched a replay and determined Draper was responsible for interference, awarding the rally to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology are not exclusive to major tournaments. It has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews in place at every one of its events.
Other Changes
Another innovation at The Championships 2025 involves the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses situations where spectators have occasionally been uncertain whether a ball was in or out.
Finally, with exactly 100 days to go until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have also announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
