The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in implementing video review technology.
Replay technology will make its debut at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Competitors are granted the option to challenge specific calls from the chair umpire, echoing the system currently in use at both the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
This innovation will be operational on Centre Court and Court One for the duration of the Championships and on the other four show courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This move follows just a season following the AELTC introduced electronic line calling, which terminated the longstanding role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to challenge the call of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the official to review specific decisions, including:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- If a ball touched an opponent's racquet or body on the way past.
- Potential interference end of a point.
Importantly, there is an unlimited number on the amount of challenges a player can ask for.
A Recent Example
A recent example took place in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a difficult call for the official, but believed his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire watched a replay and ruled Draper was responsible for interference, awarding the point to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
Video reviews aren't new for Grand Slams. It was adopted at the US Open for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the ATP circuit plans to have video reviews implemented at all of its events.
Other Changes
A further change at The Championships 2025 involves the addition of graphical cues on displays to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where spectators have sometimes been unsure whether a ball was in or out.
Finally, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the Championships, organizers have also announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
