The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in implementing video review systems.
Video review technology will make its debut at Wimbledon this year.
Athletes will gain the right to contest specific decisions made by the official, mirroring the system currently in place at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
The new system is slated for use on Centre Court and the number one court throughout the tournament and on the remaining show courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This step comes just a year after the All England Club introduced ELC, which terminated the longstanding role of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors cannot to dispute the call of the ELC system, but they can request the official to review other situations, such as:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a ball made contact with an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Potential hindrance end of a rally.
Notably, there will be no limit on the number of challenges a competitor can initiate.
Case in Point
A recent incident took place in Indian Wells last week, where a top player initiated the review system against his opponent.
Draper conceded it was a difficult situation for the official, but believed his rival had "played the rules effectively."
The umpire viewed a replay and ruled Draper was guilty of hindrance, awarding the rally to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews are not new for Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the American major for two years 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 video reviews implemented at all of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
Another change at Wimbledon 2025 will be the addition of visual indicators on scoreboards to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where fans have occasionally been unsure whether a shot was out or in.
In other news, with precisely a century of days remaining until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have also revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
