The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in implementing replay technology.
Video review systems will make its debut at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Competitors are granted the right to contest specific decisions made by the chair umpire, following the system currently in place at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
This technology is slated for use on Centre Court and Court One throughout the tournament and on the other four show courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This development comes just a season following the AELTC rolled out ELC, which effectively ended the 147-year tradition of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the official to review other decisions, such as:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- If a shot touched an rival's racket or body during play.
- Possible interference end of a point.
Importantly, there is an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a player can initiate.
Case in Point
An illustrative incident occurred in Indian Wells last week, where a top player used the video challenge against his opponent.
The British player conceded it was a tough situation for the official, but thought his opponent had "played the rules effectively."
The umpire viewed a video and determined the player was guilty of hindrance, awarding the point to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
This technology aren't new for major tournaments. It has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour will have the system implemented at every one of its events.
Other Changes
Another innovation at Wimbledon this year involves the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to complement the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where the crowd have occasionally been uncertain if a shot was in or out.
In other news, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the tournament, organizers have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
