The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in implementing replay technology.
Video review systems are set to arrive at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Players are granted the right to contest specific decisions from the official, echoing the protocol currently in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This innovation will be operational on the main stadium and Court One throughout the tournament and on the remaining show courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This step follows just a season following the All England Club rolled out ELC, which brought an end to the longstanding role of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the umpire to re-examine other situations, including:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a ball touched an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Potential interference end of a point.
Importantly, there is no limit on the number of reviews a player can ask for.
Case in Point
An illustrative incident took place in a recent tournament recently, where a top player initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a difficult call for the umpire, but thought his opponent had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire viewed a video and ruled the player was guilty of interference, awarding the point to Medvedev.
Broader Adoption
This technology are not new for Grand Slams. It has been in use at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews implemented at all of its events.
Further Updates
Another innovation at The Championships this year involves the addition of visual indicators on scoreboards to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where fans have sometimes been uncertain if a shot was in or out.
In other news, with precisely a century of days remaining until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have also revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
