The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Replay technology will make its debut at The Championships this year.
Competitors will gain the option to challenge particular calls made by the official, mirroring the system already in place at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
This innovation will be accessible on the main stadium and the number one court throughout the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This move arrives only a year after the AELTC rolled out ELC, which terminated the longstanding role of line judges.
Scope of Challenges
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the call of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the official to re-examine specific situations, such as:
- If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball touched an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Possible interference at the conclusion of a rally.
Notably, there will be an unlimited number on the number of reviews a competitor can ask for.
A Recent Example
An illustrative case occurred in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the video challenge against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a tough situation for the umpire, but believed his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a video and determined Draper was guilty of hindrance, awarding the rally to his opponent.
Growing Trend
Video reviews are not new for Grand Slams. The system has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Australian Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews implemented at all of its tournaments.
Other Changes
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 will be the introduction of visual indicators on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses situations where spectators have sometimes been unsure if a shot was in or out.
In other news, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
