The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in employing video review systems.
Replay technology will be launched at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Athletes will gain the right to question certain decisions from the chair umpire, echoing the system already in use at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
This technology is slated for use on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles contests.
This move arrives only a year after the AELTC rolled out electronic line calling, which terminated the longstanding tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the umpire to re-examine specific decisions, such as:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a shot touched an opponent's racquet or body on the way past.
- Possible hindrance end of a rally.
Notably, there is no cap on the number of challenges a player can request.
Case in Point
A recent example occurred in Indian Wells recently, where a top player used the review system against his opponent.
The British player conceded it was a tough situation for the official, but thought his opponent had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a video and determined Draper was responsible for interference, granting the point to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology are not exclusive to Grand Slams. It has been in use at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit will have the system in place at every one of its events.
Further Updates
A further innovation at Wimbledon this year will be the addition of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses situations where fans have sometimes been uncertain whether a shot was out or in.
Finally, with precisely a century of days remaining until the start of the Championships, organizers have further revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
