The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Replay systems will make its debut at Wimbledon in the upcoming tournament.
Players will gain the option to challenge specific rulings from the official, following the practice already in place at each of the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
The new system will be operational on Centre Court and Court One for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This development follows just a year after the AELTC implemented electronic line calling, which terminated the 147-year tradition of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors will not be permitted to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but they can request the official to re-examine other situations, including:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- If a ball made contact with an rival's racket or person during play.
- Possible hindrance end of a point.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the number of reviews a competitor can initiate.
A Recent Example
An illustrative example took place in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
The British player admitted it was a tough situation for the umpire, but thought his opponent had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire viewed a replay and ruled Draper was guilty of interference, granting the rally to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. The system has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by next season the men's ATP Tour will have the system implemented at all of its events.
Further Updates
Another change at The Championships 2025 involves the addition of visual indicators on scoreboards to support the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This solves instances where fans have sometimes been uncertain whether a shot was in or out.
In other news, with exactly a century of days to go until the start of the tournament, organizers have further revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
