The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Replay technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon this year.
Competitors will gain the ability to question specific decisions from the official, following the practice currently in operation at each of the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
This technology will be accessible on Centre Court and Court One throughout the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles matches.
This step follows just a season following the All England Club rolled out ELC, which terminated the centuries-old role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the umpire to review specific decisions, including:
- If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a shot made contact with an rival's racket or person during play.
- Potential interference end of a point.
Notably, there is no limit on the amount of challenges a competitor can ask for.
A Recent Example
An illustrative example took place in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a tough situation for the official, but believed his rival had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire viewed a replay and ruled the player was guilty of hindrance, granting the point to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. It has been in use at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open this year.
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 tournaments.
Further Updates
Another change at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of visual indicators on displays to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where the crowd have sometimes been uncertain if a ball was out or in.
In other news, with precisely 100 days remaining until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have also announced an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
