The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Replay technology will be launched at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Athletes are granted the ability to question specific calls made by the chair umpire, following the protocol currently in operation at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system will be accessible on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This step arrives only a season following the All England Club introduced electronic line calling, which effectively ended the centuries-old tradition of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors cannot to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the umpire to review specific decisions, including:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- If a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or body during play.
- Possible hindrance at the conclusion of a rally.
Importantly, there is an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a competitor can ask for.
A Recent Example
A recent case took place in a recent tournament 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 opponent had "played the rules quite well."
The umpire viewed a replay and ruled the player was guilty of interference, awarding the rally to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. It has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have the system implemented at all of its events.
Further Updates
Another change at Wimbledon this year involves the introduction of graphical cues on displays to support the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This addresses situations where fans have sometimes been unsure if a shot was out or in.
In other news, with exactly 100 days to go until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have further revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
