The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in employing video review technology.
Replay technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon this year.
Competitors will gain the right to question particular decisions made by the chair umpire, echoing the system already in place at each of the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
The new system is slated for use on the main stadium and the number one court for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This development comes just a year after the All England Club rolled out ELC, which brought an end to the longstanding role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors cannot to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the umpire to re-examine other situations, including:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a shot made contact with an opponent's racquet or body on the way past.
- Potential hindrance at the conclusion of a point.
Notably, there will be no cap on the amount of reviews a player can ask for.
A Recent Example
An illustrative incident occurred in a recent tournament recently, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a difficult call for the official, but thought his opponent had "played the rules effectively."
The umpire viewed a replay and determined Draper was responsible for hindrance, awarding the point to his opponent.
Growing Trend
Video reviews aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open this year.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews implemented at all of its tournaments.
Other Changes
A further change at Wimbledon 2025 will be the addition of graphical cues on displays to support the audio calls from the ELC system.
This addresses situations where spectators have sometimes been unsure if a ball was out or in.
In other news, with exactly a century of days to go until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have further revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
