The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in employing replay systems.
Video review technology will be launched at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players are granted the option to question certain calls from the official, echoing the protocol currently in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This technology will be accessible on Centre Court and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This step comes just a season following the AELTC rolled out ELC, which effectively ended the centuries-old tradition of line judges.
Scope of Challenges
Competitors cannot to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the official to re-examine specific decisions, such as:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a shot touched an rival's racket or person during play.
- Potential interference end of a point.
Notably, there is no limit on the number of reviews a competitor can request.
A Recent Example
A recent case took place in a recent tournament recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the video challenge against his opponent.
The British player conceded it was a difficult call for the umpire, but believed his rival had "played the rules quite well."
The umpire watched a video and ruled the player was guilty of hindrance, awarding the point to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews are not new for Grand Slams. It has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit plans to have the system in place at every one of its events.
Other Changes
A further change at The Championships 2025 involves the addition of visual indicators on scoreboards to support the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This solves instances where spectators have sometimes been unsure whether a ball was out or in.
Finally, with precisely 100 days to go until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have further announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
