Wimbledon will follow the American and Aussie Opens in utilizing video review systems.
Replay technology are set to arrive at The Championships in the upcoming tournament.
Competitors will gain the option to contest particular calls from the official, mirroring the system already in place at both the US Open and the Australian Open.
This innovation will be operational on the main stadium and Court One throughout the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This development follows just a season following the All England Club implemented ELC, which brought an end to the centuries-old tradition of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors cannot to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the umpire to review other situations, including:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- If a ball 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 request.
A Recent Example
An illustrative case occurred in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper admitted it was a difficult call for the official, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a video and determined Draper was responsible for interference, granting the point to Medvedev.
Broader Adoption
This technology aren't new for major tournaments. The system has been in use at the American major since 2023 and the Australian 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 the system in place at every one of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 will be the introduction of graphical cues on displays to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where spectators have sometimes been uncertain whether a shot was in or out.
In other news, with precisely a century of days remaining until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have also announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
