The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in implementing video review systems.
Video review technology will be launched at Wimbledon this year.
Competitors will gain the right to challenge particular rulings from the official, following the practice currently in place at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system will be accessible on the main stadium and the number one court for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining show courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This move arrives only a season following the All England Club implemented ELC, which terminated the longstanding tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the call of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the official to re-examine other decisions, including:
- If a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a shot made contact with an opponent's racquet or person during play.
- Potential interference at the conclusion of a point.
Notably, there will be no limit on the amount of challenges a player can ask for.
Case in Point
An illustrative case took place in a recent tournament recently, where a top player initiated the video challenge against his opponent.
Draper admitted it was a difficult situation for the official, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a replay and ruled the player was responsible for interference, awarding the point to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
This technology aren't exclusive to major tournaments. The system has been in use at the American major for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews in place at every one of its events.
Additional Innovations
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of visual indicators on displays to support 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.
Finally, with precisely a century of days remaining until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have also announced an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
