The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Video review systems will be launched at Wimbledon this year.
Competitors will gain the option to contest certain calls from the official, echoing the system already in operation at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system will be accessible on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the other four show courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This development follows just a year after the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which terminated the centuries-old tradition 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 request the official to review specific decisions, such as:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or person during play.
- Potential interference end of a point.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a player can ask for.
A Recent Example
An illustrative example occurred in Indian Wells recently, where a top player used the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player admitted it was a tough call for the umpire, but believed his rival had "played the rules quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and determined Draper was responsible for hindrance, awarding the rally to his opponent.
Growing Trend
This technology are not new for Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the US Open for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have the system implemented at all of its events.
Additional Innovations
Another innovation at The Championships 2025 will be the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses situations where fans have occasionally been unsure if a shot was out or in.
Finally, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have further revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
