The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in implementing replay systems.
Video review systems will be launched at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players are granted the option to contest certain rulings made by the official, mirroring the practice already in use at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
This innovation will be accessible 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 matches.
This development follows just a year after the AELTC rolled out ELC, which effectively ended the centuries-old tradition of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the umpire to re-examine other situations, including:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a ball made contact with an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Potential interference at the conclusion of a point.
Notably, there will be no limit on the amount of challenges a competitor can request.
A Recent Example
An illustrative incident occurred in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against his opponent.
The British player conceded it was a difficult situation for the official, but thought his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and determined Draper was responsible for hindrance, awarding the rally to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology aren't new for major tournaments. It has been in use at the American major 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 ATP circuit plans to have video reviews in place at every one of its events.
Other Changes
Another innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of graphical cues on displays to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses situations where fans have occasionally been uncertain if a ball was in or out.
Finally, with exactly a century of days remaining until the start of the Championships, organizers have further revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
