Wimbledon will follow the US and Australian Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Replay technology are set to arrive at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players will gain the option to contest particular rulings from the chair umpire, echoing the protocol currently in place at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system is slated for use on the main stadium and Court One throughout the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This move arrives only a season following the All England Club introduced electronic line calling, which terminated the centuries-old tradition of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors cannot to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the official to re-examine specific situations, such as:
- If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- If a shot made contact with an opponent's racquet or body on the way past.
- Potential interference end of a point.
Notably, there is no limit on the amount of reviews a competitor can request.
A Recent Example
A recent incident took place in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against his opponent.
The British player conceded it was a difficult situation for the official, but thought his opponent had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a replay and determined the player was responsible for interference, awarding the point to Medvedev.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews aren't new for Grand Slams. The system has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit will have video reviews in place at all of its events.
Other Changes
A further change at The Championships this year will be the addition of visual indicators on displays to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where fans have occasionally been unsure if a ball was in or out.
In other news, with exactly a century of days to go until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have further revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
