Wimbledon will follow the US and Australian Opens in implementing video review technology.
Replay technology will be launched at The Championships this year.
Athletes will gain the right to question certain rulings made by the chair umpire, echoing the protocol already in place at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
The new system will be accessible on Centre Court and the number one court throughout the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This move follows just a year after the AELTC introduced electronic line calling, which terminated the longstanding role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the umpire to re-examine specific situations, including:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a shot touched an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Potential hindrance end of a rally.
Notably, there will be no cap on the number of reviews a player can initiate.
A Recent Example
A recent case occurred in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against his opponent.
The British player admitted it was a difficult call for the official, but believed his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and determined Draper was guilty of interference, granting the point to Medvedev.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews aren't new for major tournaments. It has been in use at the American major for two years and the Australian Open this year.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit plans to have video reviews implemented at all of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
A further innovation at The Championships 2025 involves the addition of graphical cues on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This addresses situations where spectators have occasionally been unsure if a ball was out or in.
In other news, with exactly 100 days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, organizers have also announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
