The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in employing video review systems.
Replay technology will be launched at The Championships this year.
Athletes will gain the right to question certain rulings from the official, mirroring the system currently in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
The new system will be accessible on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles contests.
This step arrives only a year after the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which effectively ended the longstanding tradition of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors cannot to challenge the call of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the official to review specific situations, including:
- If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball touched an rival's racket or person during play.
- Potential hindrance end of a rally.
Importantly, there is an unlimited number on the amount of challenges a player can ask for.
A Recent Example
An illustrative example took place in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a difficult call for the umpire, but thought his rival had "played the rules effectively."
The umpire viewed a video and determined the player was responsible for interference, awarding the rally to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. It was adopted at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews in place at all of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
Another change at Wimbledon 2025 will be the addition of graphical cues on displays to complement the audio calls from the ELC system.
This addresses situations where the crowd have sometimes been unsure whether a shot was out or in.
Finally, with precisely a century of days to go until the start of the Championships, organizers have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
