The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in implementing replay technology.
Replay technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Competitors are granted the ability to contest particular rulings from the chair umpire, echoing the protocol already in operation at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system will be operational on the main stadium and Court One throughout the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This step follows just a season following the All England Club implemented ELC, which effectively ended the 147-year role of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the call of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the umpire to re-examine specific situations, including:
- Whether a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a shot made contact with an rival's racket or body during play.
- Possible interference at the conclusion of a point.
Notably, there will be no limit on the amount of challenges a competitor can initiate.
Case in Point
An illustrative case occurred in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a difficult situation for the official, but believed his rival had "used the regulations quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a replay and ruled Draper was guilty of interference, granting the point to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
Video reviews aren't new for Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the American major for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the ATP circuit plans to have video reviews implemented at every one of its events.
Other Changes
Another change at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of graphical cues on displays to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where fans have sometimes been unsure whether a ball was out or in.
In other news, with exactly 100 days to go until the start of the tournament, organizers have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
