The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in employing replay technology.
Video review systems will make its debut at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Competitors will gain the right to question particular rulings made by the official, following the practice currently in use at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
The new system is slated for use on Centre Court and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This move arrives only a year after the AELTC rolled out ELC, which effectively ended the longstanding role of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players cannot to challenge the call of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the umpire to re-examine other decisions, such as:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot touched an opponent's racquet or body during play.
- Potential hindrance end of a point.
Importantly, there is no limit on the amount of challenges a player can ask for.
A Recent Example
A recent example occurred in Indian Wells recently, where a top player initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a difficult situation for the umpire, but thought his opponent had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire watched a video and ruled Draper was responsible for hindrance, granting the point to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
This technology are not new for Grand Slams. It was adopted at the American major for two years and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the ATP circuit plans to have the system implemented at all of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
A further change at Wimbledon 2025 involves the addition of graphical cues on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses situations where fans have sometimes been uncertain if a ball was in or out.
Finally, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have further announced an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
