Wimbledon will follow the American and Aussie Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Video review systems will be launched at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Athletes will gain the right to question certain rulings from the chair umpire, mirroring the system currently in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
This innovation will be accessible on Centre Court and the number one court throughout the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This move arrives only a season following the AELTC rolled out electronic line calling, which brought an end to the longstanding role of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players cannot to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the official to review other situations, including:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- If a shot made contact with an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Possible hindrance end of a point.
Notably, there will be an unlimited number on the amount of challenges a player can initiate.
A Recent Example
An illustrative incident occurred in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against his opponent.
The British player admitted it was a difficult call for the official, but thought his opponent had "played the rules quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and determined Draper was responsible for hindrance, granting the rally to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. It has been in use at the US Open 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 video reviews implemented at every one of its events.
Other Changes
Another change at The Championships 2025 will be the addition of visual indicators on scoreboards to complement the audio calls from the ELC system.
This solves instances where spectators have sometimes been uncertain if a ball was out or in.
Finally, with precisely a century of days to go until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have further revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
