The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in employing video review systems.
Video review technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Athletes will gain the right to question specific decisions made by the official, mirroring the system currently in use at each of the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This technology will be operational on the main stadium and the number one court for the duration of the tournament and on the other four show courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This step comes just a season following the All England Club implemented ELC, which brought an end to the longstanding tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors cannot to dispute the call of the ELC system, but they can request the official to review specific situations, such as:
- Whether a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- If a ball touched an rival's racket or body on the way past.
- Possible hindrance end of a point.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the number of reviews a competitor can ask for.
A Recent Example
A recent incident took place in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a difficult situation for the official, but believed his rival had "played the rules quite well."
The umpire watched a video and determined the player was responsible for interference, awarding the rally to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
This technology are not new for Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the US Open for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit plans to have the system implemented at all of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
A further innovation at The Championships 2025 involves the introduction of visual indicators on displays to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where spectators have occasionally been unsure if a shot was out or in.
Finally, with exactly a century of days remaining until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have further announced an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
