The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in employing video review technology.
Video review technology will make its debut at The Championships this year.
Athletes are granted the right to contest specific decisions from the official, following the practice already in place at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
This technology is slated for use on the main stadium and Court One for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This step comes just a year after the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which effectively ended the longstanding tradition of line judges.
Scope of Challenges
Players will not be permitted to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the official to review other situations, including:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a shot made contact with an rival's racket or body during play.
- Possible hindrance end of a rally.
Notably, there is no limit on the number of reviews a competitor can request.
A Recent Example
A recent example took place in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against his opponent.
The British player admitted it was a difficult situation for the official, but thought his opponent had "played the rules quite well."
The umpire watched a video and ruled the player was responsible for interference, granting the rally to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews aren't new for major tournaments. The system has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the ATP circuit will have video reviews implemented at every one of its events.
Further Updates
Another innovation at Wimbledon 2025 will be the addition of visual indicators on displays to complement the audio calls from the ELC system.
This addresses situations where spectators have occasionally been unsure whether a shot was in or out.
Finally, with precisely a century of days remaining until the beginning of the Championships, organizers have also announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
