The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in employing replay technology.
Replay technology will make its debut at The Championships this year.
Players are granted the option to challenge particular calls from the chair umpire, echoing the practice currently in use at both the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
The new system will be operational on the main stadium and the number one court throughout the tournament and on the other four show courts when they are staging singles contests.
This move arrives only a year after the All England Club rolled out electronic line calling, which terminated the 147-year tradition of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to dispute the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can request the official to re-examine specific decisions, such as:
- Whether a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a ball touched an rival's racket or person during play.
- Possible interference at the conclusion of a rally.
Importantly, there is no limit on the amount of reviews a player can initiate.
A Recent Example
A recent example occurred in Indian Wells last week, where a top player initiated the video challenge against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a tough situation for the official, but thought his rival had "played the rules quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a replay and ruled the player was guilty of interference, awarding the point to his opponent.
Growing Trend
This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. The system has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Aussie Open this year.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the ATP circuit plans to have the system implemented at all of its events.
Other Changes
Another innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the addition of graphical cues on displays to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where the crowd have occasionally been unsure whether a ball was in or out.
Finally, with precisely a century of days to go until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have further announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
