The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in implementing replay technology.
Video review technology are set to arrive at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Competitors will gain the option to contest particular decisions made by the official, mirroring the system currently in operation at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.
This innovation is slated for use on Centre Court and Court One throughout the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This step follows just a year after the AELTC rolled out electronic line calling, which brought an end to the centuries-old role of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors cannot to challenge the call of the ELC system, but are allowed to ask for the umpire to re-examine other situations, such as:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot made contact with an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Potential interference at the conclusion of a rally.
Importantly, there will be no limit on the number of reviews a player can request.
Case in Point
A recent case took place in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a tough situation for the official, but believed his rival had "used the regulations quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a replay and determined Draper was guilty of interference, granting the point to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology are not new for major tournaments. It has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the ATP circuit plans to have the system implemented at every one of its tournaments.
Other Changes
Another innovation at The Championships 2025 involves the addition of visual indicators on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where fans have occasionally been unsure whether a shot was in or out.
In other news, with precisely 100 days to go until the beginning of the Championships, organizers have further revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
