The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in employing video review systems.
Video review technology will make its debut at The Championships this year.
Athletes are granted the right to contest particular rulings from the chair umpire, echoing the system already in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This innovation is slated for use on the main stadium and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This development follows just a year after the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which terminated the centuries-old tradition of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the official to re-examine specific situations, such as:
- If a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a ball made contact with an rival's racket or person during play.
- Potential interference end of a rally.
Importantly, there is no cap on the number of challenges a player can request.
Case in Point
An illustrative case occurred in Indian Wells last week, where a top player used the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper admitted it was a tough situation for the official, but believed his rival had "played the rules effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a video and determined Draper was responsible for hindrance, granting the point to Medvedev.
Broader Adoption
This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. It has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the ATP circuit will have the system implemented at every one of its events.
Further Updates
Another innovation at Wimbledon 2025 will be the introduction of visual indicators on displays to support the audio calls from the ELC system.
This addresses instances where the crowd have sometimes been uncertain if a ball was in or out.
Finally, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the Championships, organizers have further revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
