The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in implementing replay technology.
Video review technology will make its debut at The Championships this year.
Athletes will gain the ability to challenge particular rulings made by the official, mirroring the practice already in operation at each of the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
This technology will be operational on the main stadium and Court One throughout the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This move follows just a year after the All England Club implemented ELC, which terminated the centuries-old role of line judges.
Scope of Challenges
Players will not be permitted to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the official to review other decisions, including:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a shot touched an opponent's racquet or person during play.
- Potential hindrance at the conclusion of a point.
Importantly, there is an unlimited number on the number of reviews a player can initiate.
A Recent Example
A recent case occurred in a recent tournament last week, where a top player used the review system against his opponent.
Draper conceded it was a tough call for the official, but thought his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire watched a replay and ruled the player was guilty of hindrance, awarding the point to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology are not new for major tournaments. It was adopted at the American major since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have the system in place at every one of its events.
Further Updates
A further change at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where spectators have sometimes been uncertain whether a ball was out or in.
In other news, with exactly a century of days to go until the beginning of the tournament, organizers have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
