The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in implementing replay systems.
Video review systems are set to arrive at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Athletes are granted the ability to contest particular decisions made by the chair umpire, echoing the practice already in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This technology will be accessible on Centre Court and Court One for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This move arrives only a year after the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which effectively ended the longstanding role of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Players will not be permitted to dispute the call of the ELC system, but are allowed to ask for the official to re-examine other decisions, including:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot touched an opponent's racquet or person during play.
- Possible interference end of a rally.
Importantly, there is an unlimited number on the amount of challenges a player can initiate.
A Recent Example
A recent incident took place in a recent tournament last week, where a top player used the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a tough situation for the official, but thought his opponent had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire viewed a replay and determined the player was responsible for interference, granting the rally to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology are not new for major tournaments. The system was adopted at the US Open since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by next season the ATP circuit plans to have video reviews in place at all of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
A further change at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of visual indicators on displays to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses situations where the crowd have occasionally been uncertain whether a ball was out or in.
Finally, with precisely 100 days to go until the beginning of the tournament, organizers have also announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
