The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in utilizing video review systems.
Replay technology are set to arrive at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players will gain the option to contest particular decisions from the official, echoing the practice already in place at both the US Open and the Australian Open.
This technology is slated for use on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This move follows just a year after the AELTC introduced electronic line calling, which effectively ended the 147-year role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to challenge the call of the ELC system, but they can request the umpire to re-examine other situations, including:
- If a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a shot made contact with an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Potential hindrance end of a rally.
Importantly, there is no limit on the amount of reviews a competitor can initiate.
A Recent Example
A recent example took place in a recent tournament recently, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the video challenge against Jack Draper.
The British player admitted it was a tough situation for the official, but thought his opponent had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and ruled Draper was responsible for hindrance, awarding the point to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews are not exclusive to major tournaments. The system was adopted at the US Open for two years and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews in place at every one of its tournaments.
Further Updates
Another innovation at The Championships this year will be the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This solves instances where fans have occasionally been uncertain whether a shot was out or in.
In other news, with precisely 100 days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have further announced an increase in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
