The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in implementing replay technology.
Video review systems are set to arrive at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Athletes will gain the option to question specific decisions from the official, mirroring the practice currently in operation at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This innovation will be accessible on Centre Court and Court One throughout the tournament and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles contests.
This move follows just a season following the All England Club implemented ELC, which terminated the longstanding role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the umpire to review specific situations, such as:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- If a shot touched an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Possible interference end of a point.
Importantly, there is no cap on the amount of challenges a player can ask for.
Case in Point
A recent example took place in a recent tournament last week, where a top player used the video challenge against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a difficult call for the umpire, but believed his opponent had "played the rules quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and ruled the player was responsible for interference, granting the rally to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour plans to have the system implemented at every one of its events.
Additional Innovations
Another innovation at The Championships 2025 involves the introduction of visual indicators on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where the crowd have occasionally been uncertain if a ball was in or out.
In other news, with precisely 100 days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, organizers have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
