The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in employing video review technology.
Video review technology are set to arrive at The Championships this year.
Competitors are granted the ability to challenge certain rulings made by the official, following the practice currently in use at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.
This innovation will be accessible on the main stadium and Court One for the duration of the Championships and on the other four show courts when they are staging singles contests.
This move follows just a year after the All England Club introduced ELC, which brought an end to the centuries-old role of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the umpire to re-examine other situations, such as:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or body on the way past.
- Potential interference at the conclusion of a point.
Notably, there is no cap on the number of challenges a player can ask for.
Case in Point
An illustrative incident took place in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the video challenge against his opponent.
The British player admitted it was a difficult call for the umpire, but believed his rival had "played the rules quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a replay and ruled the player was guilty of interference, awarding the rally to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the ATP circuit will have video reviews implemented at every one of its events.
Additional Innovations
Another innovation at Wimbledon 2025 will be the addition of graphical cues on displays to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where spectators have sometimes been unsure if a shot was out or in.
In other news, with exactly 100 days to go until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have further revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
