The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Video review systems will be launched at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Competitors will gain the right to challenge specific calls from the chair umpire, echoing the practice already in operation at each of the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
This innovation is slated for use on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This step comes just a year after the AELTC introduced electronic line calling, which effectively ended the centuries-old role of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the umpire to re-examine other situations, including:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball touched an rival's racket or person during play.
- Potential interference at the conclusion of a rally.
Notably, there is no cap on the amount of reviews a competitor can initiate.
Practical Application
An illustrative case occurred in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
The British player admitted it was a tough call for the official, but thought his rival had "played the rules effectively."
The umpire viewed a video and determined Draper was guilty of hindrance, awarding the point to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews aren't new for Grand Slams. It has been in use at the American major for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit will have the system implemented at every one of its tournaments.
Other Changes
A further innovation at The Championships 2025 will be the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where the crowd have sometimes been unsure whether a shot was out or in.
Finally, with precisely a century of days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have further revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
