The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in utilizing replay technology.
Video review technology will be launched at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Competitors will gain the ability to question particular rulings made by the official, echoing the practice currently in place at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
This innovation will be operational on Centre Court and Court One throughout the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This move follows just a season following the AELTC introduced ELC, which brought an end to the centuries-old tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the call of the ELC system, but they can ask for the official to re-examine specific situations, including:
- Whether a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- If a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or person during play.
- Potential interference end of a rally.
Importantly, there is an unlimited number on the number of reviews a player can ask for.
Case in Point
An illustrative case occurred in Indian Wells last week, where a top player initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a difficult call for the official, but thought his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire viewed a video and determined Draper was responsible for hindrance, granting the rally to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews are not exclusive to Grand Slams. It has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have the system in place at every one of its events.
Further Updates
Another innovation at The Championships 2025 will be the addition of visual indicators on displays to support the audio calls from the ELC system.
This solves situations where the crowd have occasionally been unsure whether a shot was out or in.
Finally, with precisely 100 days to go until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have further revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
