The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Replay systems will be launched at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Players are granted the right to contest specific calls from the chair umpire, following the protocol currently in use at both the US Open and the Australian Open.
This technology will be operational on the main stadium and Court One for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This step follows just a year after the AELTC introduced electronic line calling, which brought an end to the centuries-old tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to challenge the call of the ELC system, but they can ask for the umpire to review specific decisions, including:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- If a ball touched an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Possible hindrance end of a rally.
Notably, there is no limit on the amount of challenges a player can ask for.
Case in Point
A recent case occurred in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the video challenge against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a tough call for the umpire, but thought his rival had "played the rules effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a replay and determined the player was responsible for interference, granting the point to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews in place at all of its tournaments.
Further Updates
A further innovation at The Championships this year involves the introduction of graphical cues on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This addresses instances where fans have occasionally been unsure if a shot was out or in.
Finally, with precisely 100 days to go until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have further announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
