The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in implementing replay systems.
Replay technology are set to arrive at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players are granted the option to question particular rulings made by the official, echoing the protocol already in place at each of the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
This innovation will be operational on the main stadium and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the other four show courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This development follows just a season following the All England Club rolled out electronic line calling, which brought an end to the longstanding tradition of line officials.
Scope of Challenges
Players will not be permitted to dispute the accuracy of the ELC system, but are allowed to request the umpire to review specific decisions, including:
- If a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot made contact with an rival's racket or person during play.
- Potential interference at the conclusion of a point.
Notably, there will be an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a player can ask for.
Practical Application
An illustrative example took place in Indian Wells last week, where a top player initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a difficult situation for the umpire, but thought his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire watched a video and ruled Draper was responsible for interference, granting the rally to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews aren't exclusive to major tournaments. The system has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the ATP circuit will have the system in place at every one of its events.
Additional Innovations
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 will be the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This solves situations where the crowd have occasionally been unsure if a ball was in or out.
In other news, with exactly a century of days remaining until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have also revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
