The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in employing video review technology.
Replay systems will make its debut at Wimbledon this year.
Athletes will gain the ability to contest particular calls made by the official, echoing the protocol already in use at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
This technology will be operational on the main stadium and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles contests.
This move follows just a year after the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which terminated the centuries-old tradition of line officials.
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 tennis ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a shot made contact with an rival's racket or person during play.
- Possible interference end of a rally.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a player can request.
A Recent Example
A recent example took place in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the video challenge against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a difficult call for the umpire, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire viewed a video and determined Draper was responsible for interference, awarding the point to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews are not new for major tournaments. It was adopted at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour plans to have the system implemented at every one of its events.
Further Updates
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This addresses situations where the crowd have occasionally been uncertain if a shot was out or in.
In other news, with exactly a century of days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have further revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
