The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in employing video review technology.
Video review technology will make its debut at Wimbledon in the upcoming tournament.
Competitors are granted the option to question particular rulings made by the chair umpire, following the practice already in place at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system will be operational 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 development comes just a season following the AELTC introduced ELC, which effectively ended the longstanding tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players will not be permitted to challenge the call of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the umpire to review specific decisions, including:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball touched an rival's racket or body on the way past.
- Possible interference at the conclusion of a point.
Importantly, there is an unlimited number on the amount of challenges a player can ask for.
Case in Point
An illustrative incident took place in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the video challenge against Jack Draper.
The British player admitted it was a difficult call for the umpire, but thought his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire viewed a replay and determined the player was guilty of interference, granting the point to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
Video reviews aren't new for Grand Slams. It was adopted at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews implemented at all of its tournaments.
Further Updates
A further change at Wimbledon 2025 involves the addition of visual indicators on displays to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where fans have occasionally been uncertain if a ball was in or out.
In other news, with precisely 100 days remaining until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have further revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
