The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in employing video review technology.
Replay technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon in the upcoming tournament.
Athletes are granted the option to question specific decisions made by the official, mirroring the practice currently in use at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
The new system will be operational on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the other four show courts when they are staging singles contests.
This step arrives only a season following the All England Club implemented ELC, which brought an end to the longstanding role of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players cannot to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the official to review other decisions, such as:
- If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball touched an rival's racket or person during play.
- Potential interference at the conclusion of a rally.
Importantly, there will be no limit on the number of challenges a competitor can request.
A Recent Example
A recent case took place in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
The British player conceded it was a tough call for the official, but thought his opponent had "played the rules effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and determined Draper was guilty of hindrance, awarding the point to Medvedev.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews are not exclusive to Grand Slams. It has been in use at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the ATP circuit plans to have the system implemented at all of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
A further change at The Championships 2025 will be the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to complement the audio calls from the ELC system.
This addresses instances where fans have sometimes been uncertain whether a ball was in or out.
In other news, with precisely 100 days to go until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have also announced an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
