The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in implementing replay technology.
Video review technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Competitors will gain the option to challenge certain decisions made by the chair umpire, echoing the system already in operation at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
This technology will be operational on Centre Court and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles contests.
This step comes just a season following the AELTC rolled out ELC, which terminated the longstanding role of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors cannot to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the umpire to review other decisions, such as:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a shot made contact with an rival's racket or person during play.
- Possible interference end of a rally.
Notably, there will be no limit on the number of reviews a player can initiate.
Case in Point
An illustrative incident took place in a recent tournament recently, where a top player used the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper admitted it was a tough situation for the umpire, but thought his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire watched a video and determined the player was guilty of interference, granting the rally to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. It has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Australian Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews in place at all of its events.
Further Updates
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the addition of visual indicators on displays to support the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This addresses instances where spectators have occasionally been uncertain if a ball was in or out.
Finally, with precisely a century of days remaining until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have further revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
