The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in implementing replay systems.
Video review technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon this year.
Players will gain the ability to question particular rulings made by the official, mirroring the system already in operation at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
The new system is slated for use on the main stadium and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This development comes just a year after the All England Club introduced electronic line calling, which effectively ended the 147-year role of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors cannot to dispute the accuracy of the ELC system, but are allowed to ask for the umpire to re-examine other decisions, such as:
- If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball touched an rival's racket or body during play.
- Possible interference end of a point.
Importantly, there is no limit on the amount of reviews a competitor can initiate.
A Recent Example
A recent example occurred in a recent tournament recently, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a tough situation for the official, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a replay and ruled Draper was responsible for interference, granting the rally to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology are not new for Grand Slams. It was adopted at the American major for two years and the Australian Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit will have video reviews in place at every one of its events.
Other Changes
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 will be the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This solves situations where fans have occasionally been uncertain if a shot was out or in.
In other news, with exactly a century of days remaining until the start of the tournament, organizers have further announced an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
