The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in utilizing replay technology.
Video review systems will be launched at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Players are granted the option to contest certain calls from the chair umpire, following the practice already in use at each of the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
This technology will be accessible on Centre Court and Court One throughout the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles matches.
This step comes just a year after the All England Club rolled out electronic line calling, which brought an end to the 147-year tradition of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the official to re-examine specific decisions, including:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- If a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or body during play.
- Potential hindrance end of a point.
Importantly, there will be no cap on the amount of reviews a player can ask for.
Case in Point
An illustrative case took place in Indian Wells last week, where a top player used the review system against his opponent.
The British player admitted it was a tough situation for the umpire, but believed his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a replay and ruled Draper was guilty of interference, granting the rally to Medvedev.
Broader Adoption
This technology aren't new for major tournaments. The system has been in use at the US Open for two years 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
A further change at The Championships this year involves the addition of visual indicators on scoreboards to complement the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where the crowd have sometimes been unsure if a ball was in or out.
Finally, with precisely a century of days to go until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have also announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
