The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in implementing replay technology.
Replay systems will be launched at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Athletes will gain the ability to question certain rulings made by the official, echoing the practice already in operation at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This innovation is slated for use on Centre Court and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles matches.
This step follows just a season following the All England Club introduced ELC, which brought an end to the centuries-old role of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors cannot to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but they can request the umpire to re-examine other situations, including:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- If a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or body on the way past.
- Possible interference at the conclusion of a point.
Notably, there will be an unlimited number on the number of reviews a competitor can initiate.
Practical Application
An illustrative incident took place in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the video challenge against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a tough call for the official, but thought his opponent had "played the rules effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and ruled the player was responsible for interference, awarding the point to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews are not new for Grand Slams. It has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the ATP circuit will have the system implemented at all of its events.
Other Changes
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the addition of visual indicators on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where the crowd have occasionally been unsure if a ball was in or out.
In other news, with precisely a century of days remaining until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have further announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
