The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in implementing replay systems.
Video review systems will make its debut at The Championships in the upcoming tournament.
Competitors are granted the ability to contest particular rulings made by the chair umpire, echoing the practice already in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This technology will be operational on Centre Court and Court One throughout the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This development follows just a season following the AELTC implemented ELC, which effectively ended the longstanding tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can request the official to re-examine other situations, such as:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a ball touched an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Possible interference end of a rally.
Importantly, there is no cap on the number of reviews a player can request.
Case in Point
A recent case occurred in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player admitted it was a difficult call for the umpire, but believed his rival had "played the rules effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and determined the player was guilty of interference, granting the rally to his opponent.
Growing Trend
This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. It has been in use at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the ATP circuit will have the system in place at all of its events.
Further Updates
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of visual indicators on displays to complement the audio calls from the ELC system.
This addresses situations where fans have sometimes been unsure whether a ball was in or out.
In other news, with precisely 100 days to go until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have also revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
