The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in implementing replay systems.
Video review technology will be launched at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Players are granted the right to question specific calls from the official, echoing the system already in place at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system will be operational on the main stadium and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This development comes just a year after the All England Club introduced ELC, which terminated the longstanding tradition of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the ELC system, but are allowed to ask for the umpire to review other decisions, including:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot made contact with an rival's racket or person during play.
- Possible interference end of a rally.
Importantly, there will be no limit on the amount of reviews a player can ask for.
A Recent Example
An illustrative example took place in a recent tournament recently, where a top player used the review system against his opponent.
Draper conceded it was a tough call for the umpire, but thought his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a replay and ruled Draper was guilty of hindrance, granting the rally to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews aren't new for major tournaments. The system has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open this year.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the ATP circuit plans to have video reviews in place at every one of its tournaments.
Further Updates
Another change at The Championships 2025 involves the addition of visual indicators on scoreboards to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses situations where spectators have sometimes been unsure whether a shot was in or out.
In other news, with exactly 100 days to go until the start of the Championships, organizers have further revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
