The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in utilizing replay technology.
Video review technology are set to arrive at The Championships this year.
Players are granted the option to contest certain rulings made by the official, mirroring the system already in place at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
This innovation will be accessible on the main stadium and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the other four show courts when they are staging singles matches.
This step follows just a year after the All England Club introduced electronic line calling, which terminated the longstanding tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to challenge the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can request the umpire to review other situations, including:
- Whether a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- If a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Potential hindrance at the conclusion of a rally.
Notably, there will be an unlimited number on the number of reviews a player can request.
A Recent Example
An illustrative incident took place in a recent tournament recently, where a top player initiated the review system against his opponent.
Draper conceded it was a difficult call for the umpire, but thought his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a replay and ruled the player was responsible for hindrance, awarding the rally to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology are not new for major tournaments. It has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Australian 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 in place at every one of its tournaments.
Other Changes
Another change at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of graphical cues on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This solves instances where fans have sometimes been uncertain whether a shot was out or in.
Finally, with exactly a century of days remaining until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have further announced an increase in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
