The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in implementing video review systems.
Replay technology will be launched at The Championships this year.
Athletes will gain the right to challenge certain decisions from the chair umpire, echoing the system currently in use at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.
This technology will be operational on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the other four show courts when they are staging singles matches.
This move follows just a year after the All England Club rolled out electronic line calling, which terminated the 147-year tradition of line judges.
Scope of Challenges
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can request the official to review specific situations, such as:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot made contact with an opponent's racquet or body on the way past.
- Possible hindrance end of a rally.
Importantly, there is no limit on the number of reviews a competitor can initiate.
A Recent Example
A recent example occurred in Indian Wells recently, where a top player initiated the review system against his opponent.
The British player conceded it was a tough call for the official, but believed his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a replay and determined the player was responsible for interference, awarding the point to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. It was adopted at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit will have video reviews implemented at all of its events.
Further Updates
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 will be the introduction of graphical cues on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This addresses situations where the crowd have occasionally been uncertain if a shot was out or in.
Finally, with exactly a century of days to go until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have also announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
