The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in employing video review technology.
Replay technology will make its debut at Wimbledon in the upcoming tournament.
Competitors are granted the option to question specific calls from the official, following the practice currently in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
The new system is slated for use on Centre Court and Court One throughout the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This move follows just a year after the All England Club rolled out electronic line calling, which brought an end to the 147-year tradition of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Players will not be permitted to dispute the call of the ELC system, but are allowed to request the official to review specific decisions, including:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or person during play.
- Possible hindrance end of a point.
Notably, there is no limit on the number of challenges a player can ask for.
A Recent Example
An illustrative incident took place in Indian Wells last week, where a top player initiated the video challenge against his opponent.
The British player conceded it was a difficult call for the official, but believed his opponent had "played the rules quite well."
The umpire viewed a replay and ruled the player was responsible for interference, granting the point to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology are not new for Grand Slams. It has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, 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 tournaments.
Further Updates
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of graphical cues on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where fans have occasionally been unsure whether a ball was out or in.
Finally, with precisely a century of days to go until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have also announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
