The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in employing replay technology.
Video review systems will make its debut at Wimbledon this year.
Players are granted the ability to challenge particular rulings from the official, echoing the practice currently in use at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
This innovation is slated for use on the main stadium and Court One throughout the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This development arrives only a season following the AELTC rolled out electronic line calling, which terminated the centuries-old tradition of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players cannot to challenge the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can request the official to re-examine other situations, such as:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- If a ball made contact with an rival's racket or person during play.
- Possible interference at the conclusion of a point.
Notably, there will be no cap on the amount of challenges a player can ask for.
Practical Application
An illustrative example took place in a recent tournament recently, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a difficult situation for the umpire, but believed his rival had "played the rules quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and ruled the player was responsible for hindrance, awarding the point to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
This technology aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. It has been in use at the American major for two years and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit will have the system in place at every one of its tournaments.
Further Updates
A further change at The Championships 2025 will be the introduction of visual indicators on scoreboards to complement the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where spectators have sometimes been uncertain whether a ball was in or out.
In other news, with exactly 100 days remaining until the beginning of the Championships, organizers have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
