The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Video review technology are set to arrive at The Championships this year.
Competitors will gain the option to question particular calls from the chair umpire, mirroring the practice already in use at both the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
The new system is slated for use on Centre Court and the number one court throughout the Championships and on the other four featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This development comes just a season following the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which terminated the centuries-old role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to dispute the call of the ELC system, but they can request the umpire to review other decisions, such as:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- If a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or body on the way past.
- Potential hindrance end of a rally.
Importantly, there will be no limit on the amount of reviews a player can request.
A Recent Example
An illustrative case took place in a recent tournament last week, where a top player used the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a tough situation for the umpire, but thought his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a video and ruled Draper was responsible for hindrance, awarding the point to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. The system has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Aussie Open this year.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews in place at every one of its events.
Other Changes
Another innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of graphical cues on displays to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses situations where the crowd have occasionally been unsure if a ball was out or in.
Finally, with precisely a century of days to go until the start of the Championships, organizers have also revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
