The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in employing video review systems.
Video review systems will be launched at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Athletes are granted the right to question particular rulings from the official, mirroring the protocol already in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This technology is slated for use on the main stadium and the number one court throughout the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This step arrives only a year after the All England Club introduced electronic line calling, which terminated the centuries-old role of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Players will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the ELC system, but are allowed to request the official to review specific decisions, such as:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a shot touched an rival's racket or person during play.
- Possible hindrance at the conclusion of a rally.
Importantly, there will be no cap on the number of challenges a competitor can ask for.
A Recent Example
A recent incident took place in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the video challenge against Jack Draper.
The British player admitted it was a difficult call for the official, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire viewed a replay and ruled the player was guilty of hindrance, granting the rally to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews are not exclusive to major tournaments. It has been in use at the American major for two years and the Australian 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 all of its events.
Further Updates
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the addition of visual indicators on scoreboards to complement the audio calls from the ELC system.
This solves instances where the crowd have occasionally been unsure whether a shot was out or in.
Finally, with exactly a century of days remaining until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have further revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
