The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in implementing video review technology.
Replay systems will be launched at The Championships this year.
Athletes are granted the ability to challenge specific calls made by the official, following the practice already in use at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
The new system is slated for use on the main stadium and the number one court throughout the tournament and on the other four show courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This move comes just a year after the AELTC rolled out ELC, which terminated the 147-year role of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors cannot to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the umpire to review other situations, such as:
- If a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot touched an rival's racket or body on the way past.
- Potential interference end of a rally.
Notably, there will be an unlimited number on the number of challenges a competitor can request.
Case in Point
An illustrative case occurred in Indian Wells last week, where a top player used the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a tough call for the umpire, but thought his opponent had "played the rules quite well."
The umpire viewed a video and ruled Draper was responsible for hindrance, granting the point to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews aren't exclusive to major tournaments. It has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Australian Open this year.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews implemented at all of its events.
Other Changes
Another innovation at Wimbledon 2025 will be the addition of visual indicators on displays to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where spectators have occasionally been unsure whether a shot was out or in.
Finally, with precisely a century of days remaining until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have also announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
