The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in utilizing replay systems.
Video review technology are set to arrive at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players will gain the right to question particular calls made by the official, echoing the practice already in place at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
This innovation will be operational on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This development arrives only a season following the All England Club rolled out electronic line calling, which terminated the centuries-old role of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors cannot to dispute the accuracy of the ELC system, but are allowed to request the official to review specific situations, including:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- If a shot touched an rival's racket or person during play.
- Potential hindrance at the conclusion of a rally.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a player can initiate.
Case in Point
An illustrative example occurred in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a difficult call for the umpire, but thought his opponent had "played the rules effectively."
The umpire viewed a video and ruled Draper was responsible for hindrance, granting the rally to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews are not new for major tournaments. It was adopted at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the ATP circuit will have video reviews implemented at every one of its tournaments.
Other Changes
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of visual indicators on displays to support the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This addresses instances where the crowd have occasionally been uncertain if a ball was out or in.
Finally, with exactly a century of days to go until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have also announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
