Wimbledon will follow the US and Australian Opens in implementing video review systems.
Replay systems are set to arrive at The Championships this year.
Players are granted the right to contest certain calls from the official, following the system currently in operation at both the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
This technology will be operational on the main stadium and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This step comes just a season following the All England Club implemented ELC, which brought an end to the centuries-old tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to dispute the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can request the official to re-examine other decisions, such as:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot touched an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Possible interference end of a point.
Importantly, there will be no cap on the number of reviews a competitor can ask for.
Practical Application
A recent example occurred in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a difficult situation for the official, but thought his opponent had "played the rules effectively."
The umpire viewed a video and ruled Draper was responsible for interference, awarding the rally to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
Video reviews are not new for Grand Slams. The system has been in use at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the ATP circuit will have video reviews in place at all of its events.
Further Updates
A further change at The Championships 2025 will be the introduction of visual indicators on scoreboards to complement the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where fans have sometimes been uncertain if a shot was in or out.
In other news, with exactly 100 days to go until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have further revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
