The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in implementing video review systems.
Replay systems will make its debut at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Competitors are granted the option to question certain calls from the official, mirroring the protocol already in use at both the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
The new system will be operational on the main stadium and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This move arrives only a year after the All England Club implemented ELC, which terminated the centuries-old role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the official to re-examine other situations, including:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a shot touched an rival's racket or person during play.
- Potential interference end of a rally.
Notably, there will be no limit on the amount of reviews a competitor can request.
Case in Point
An illustrative case occurred in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the video challenge against his opponent.
Draper conceded it was a tough call for the official, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a replay and ruled the player was responsible for interference, awarding the rally to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology are not new for Grand Slams. The system has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews implemented at every one of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
A further change at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of graphical cues on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where spectators have sometimes been uncertain if a shot was in or out.
Finally, with exactly 100 days remaining until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have also announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
