The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in employing video review technology.
Replay technology will be launched at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players will gain the ability to question particular decisions from the chair umpire, echoing the practice already in operation at each of the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This innovation will be operational 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 matches.
This step comes just a season following the AELTC rolled out ELC, which terminated the centuries-old tradition of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors cannot to challenge the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can ask for the umpire to review other situations, such as:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- If a shot made contact with an opponent's racquet or person during play.
- Potential hindrance at the conclusion of a rally.
Notably, there is no cap on the amount of reviews a player can ask for.
A Recent Example
An illustrative example took place in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against his opponent.
Draper admitted it was a tough call for the official, but thought his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire viewed a replay and determined Draper was responsible for hindrance, awarding the rally to Medvedev.
Broader Adoption
This technology are not new for Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the US Open since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews in place at every one of its events.
Further Updates
A further innovation at The Championships this year will be the addition of visual indicators on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where fans have sometimes been uncertain if a shot was in or out.
Finally, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have also announced an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
