The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in utilizing replay technology.
Video review technology will be launched at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Athletes will gain the right to challenge particular rulings from the official, echoing the system already in place at each of the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This technology is slated for use on Centre Court and Court One for the duration of the Championships and on the other four featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This move arrives only a season following the AELTC introduced electronic line calling, which terminated the 147-year tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the official to review specific situations, such as:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- If a shot made contact with an opponent's racquet or person during play.
- Potential interference end of a rally.
Notably, there will be no cap on the amount of challenges a competitor can request.
A Recent Example
A recent incident took place in Indian Wells recently, where a top player initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper admitted it was a tough call for the umpire, but believed his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a video and ruled Draper was guilty of interference, granting the rally to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. It has been in use at the American major since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit will have video reviews in place at all of its events.
Additional Innovations
A further innovation at Wimbledon this year will be the introduction of graphical cues on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This solves instances where spectators have occasionally been uncertain if a ball was out or in.
Finally, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the Championships, organizers have further revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
