The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in implementing replay technology.
Video review systems will make its debut at The Championships this year.
Players will gain the ability to challenge specific calls from the official, mirroring the practice already in use at both the US Open and the Australian Open.
The new system is slated for use on Centre Court and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This step follows just a season following the AELTC implemented ELC, which terminated the longstanding tradition of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the official to re-examine other situations, such as:
- Whether a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a ball touched an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Possible hindrance at the conclusion of a rally.
Notably, there will be an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a player can request.
Practical Application
An illustrative incident took place in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
Draper admitted it was a tough call for the official, but believed his opponent had "played the rules quite well."
The umpire viewed a replay and ruled the player was guilty of hindrance, awarding the rally to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
This technology are not exclusive to major tournaments. It was adopted at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews in place at every one of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of visual indicators on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where spectators have sometimes been uncertain whether a ball was in or out.
Finally, with precisely a century of days remaining until the start of the tournament, organizers have also revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
