The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in utilizing replay technology.
Video review systems will be launched at The Championships this year.
Athletes are granted the right to contest specific rulings made by the official, mirroring the system currently in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This technology will be accessible on the main stadium and the number one court throughout the tournament and on the other four show courts when they are staging singles matches.
This development follows just a season following the All England Club rolled out electronic line calling, which effectively ended the longstanding role of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players will not be permitted to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the official to re-examine other situations, such as:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot touched an rival's racket or body during play.
- Potential interference at the conclusion of a rally.
Notably, there is no cap on the number of reviews a player can initiate.
A Recent Example
A recent case occurred in a recent tournament recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
Draper admitted it was a difficult situation for the official, but believed his rival had "played the rules effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a replay and determined the player was guilty of interference, awarding the rally to Medvedev.
Broader Adoption
This technology are not exclusive to major tournaments. It was adopted at the US Open for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews implemented at all of its events.
Additional Innovations
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 will be the introduction of graphical cues on displays to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where fans have sometimes been unsure whether a ball was in or out.
Finally, with exactly 100 days to go until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have further announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
