The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Replay technology will be launched at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players will gain the right to contest particular rulings from the official, following the system already in place at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
This innovation will be accessible on the main stadium and the number one court throughout the tournament and on the other four show courts when they are staging singles contests.
This development follows just a season following the AELTC rolled out electronic line calling, which effectively ended the centuries-old role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to dispute the accuracy of the ELC system, but are allowed to request the official to re-examine other situations, including:
- If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- If a shot made contact with an opponent's racquet or body during play.
- Potential interference end of a point.
Notably, there will be no cap on the number of reviews a player can initiate.
Practical Application
A recent incident occurred in Indian Wells recently, where a top player used the review system against his opponent.
The British player conceded it was a tough call for the official, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire viewed a replay and determined the player was responsible for hindrance, awarding the point to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology aren't exclusive to major tournaments. The system was adopted at the American major since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the ATP circuit will have video reviews in place at all of its events.
Additional Innovations
Another change at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of visual indicators on scoreboards to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where fans have occasionally been unsure if a shot was in or out.
In other news, with exactly a century of days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have also announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
