The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in utilizing replay technology.
Video review technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon this year.
Athletes will gain the option to challenge certain rulings from the official, following the protocol already in place at each of the American Grand Slam 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 other four show courts when they are staging singles matches.
This move follows just a year after the AELTC implemented ELC, which brought an end to the longstanding role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors cannot to challenge the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can request the umpire to review specific situations, including:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a shot made contact with an opponent's racquet or person during play.
- Possible interference end of a rally.
Notably, there will be no limit on the amount of reviews a competitor can ask for.
A Recent Example
A recent example took place in a recent tournament recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
Draper conceded it was a difficult situation for the official, but thought his rival had "played the rules quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and ruled the player was responsible for hindrance, awarding the point to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
Video reviews are not new for major tournaments. It has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the ATP circuit plans to have video reviews in place at every one of its events.
Further Updates
Another change at Wimbledon 2025 will be the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where the crowd have sometimes been unsure whether a ball was in or out.
In other news, with precisely a century of days remaining until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have further revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
