Wimbledon will follow the US and Australian Opens in employing video review technology.
Replay technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Competitors are granted the ability to contest specific rulings from the chair umpire, mirroring the system currently in place at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
This technology will be accessible on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This move arrives only a season following the All England Club introduced ELC, which effectively ended the longstanding tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the official to review other decisions, including:
- Whether a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a ball made contact with an rival's racket or body on the way past.
- Possible interference end of a rally.
Importantly, there will be no limit on the amount of reviews a player can initiate.
A Recent Example
An illustrative incident occurred in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the video challenge against his opponent.
Draper admitted it was a tough situation for the umpire, but believed his rival had "played the rules effectively."
The umpire watched a video and ruled Draper was guilty of hindrance, granting the rally to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology are not exclusive to major tournaments. It has been in use at the American major for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the ATP circuit will have video reviews in place at every one of its events.
Further Updates
Another change at Wimbledon 2025 will be the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This addresses situations where fans have sometimes been unsure if a ball was in or out.
Finally, with precisely 100 days to go until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have further revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
