The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Replay technology will be launched at Wimbledon in the upcoming tournament.
Competitors will gain the ability to question specific calls made by the official, mirroring the system already in operation at both the US Open and the Australian Open.
This technology is slated for use on Centre Court and Court One throughout the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This development comes just a year after the AELTC introduced electronic line calling, which terminated the longstanding role of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors will not be permitted to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the official to review specific decisions, including:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a shot made contact with an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Possible interference at the conclusion of a rally.
Notably, there is an unlimited number on the number of challenges a competitor can ask for.
Case in Point
A recent incident took place in a recent tournament recently, where a top player initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a tough call for the official, but thought his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire watched a video and determined Draper was guilty of interference, granting the point to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
This technology are not new for Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the US Open since 2023 and the Australian Open this year.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit plans to have the system implemented at all of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
Another change at Wimbledon 2025 involves the addition of graphical cues on displays to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where the crowd have sometimes been unsure whether a shot was out or in.
Finally, with precisely a century of days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, organizers have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
