Wimbledon will follow the American and Australian Opens in utilizing replay systems.
Video review technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Players are granted the ability to challenge specific decisions from the official, mirroring the system currently in operation at each of the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
The new system is slated for use on Centre Court and the number one court throughout the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles contests.
This development arrives only a season following the AELTC rolled out electronic line calling, which brought an end to the centuries-old role of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors cannot to challenge the call of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the official to review other decisions, including:
- Whether a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball made contact with an rival's racket or body on the way past.
- Potential hindrance end of a point.
Notably, there is no cap on the amount of challenges a competitor can request.
A Recent Example
An illustrative example occurred in a recent tournament last week, where a top player used the video challenge against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a difficult situation for the official, but believed his opponent had "played the rules effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a video and ruled Draper was responsible for interference, granting the point to Medvedev.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews aren't exclusive to major tournaments. It was adopted at the American major since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews in place at all of its events.
Further Updates
Another innovation at The Championships this year involves the addition of visual indicators on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where spectators have occasionally been uncertain if a shot was in or out.
Finally, with exactly a century of days to go until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have further revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
