The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in employing video review systems.
Video review technology will be launched at Wimbledon this year.
Players will gain the right to contest particular rulings made by the official, mirroring the practice currently in operation at both the US Open and the Australian Open.
This technology will be accessible on the main stadium and Court One throughout the Championships and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This step follows just a season following the All England Club rolled out ELC, which brought an end to the 147-year tradition of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors cannot to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the umpire to review other situations, such as:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Potential hindrance end of a point.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a player can ask for.
A Recent Example
A recent case took place in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against his opponent.
Draper conceded it was a difficult call for the umpire, but thought his rival had "played the rules effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a replay and determined the player was responsible for interference, awarding the point to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology are not new for major tournaments. 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 women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the ATP circuit will have the system implemented at all of its tournaments.
Other Changes
Another change at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to complement the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where fans have occasionally been uncertain whether a ball was in or out.
In other news, with precisely a century of days to go until the start of the tournament, organizers have further revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
