The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in utilizing video review systems.
Replay systems will be launched at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Competitors will gain the option to question specific decisions made by the official, echoing the practice already in operation at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system will be accessible on the main stadium and the number one court throughout the tournament and on the other four show courts when they are staging singles contests.
This step arrives only a season following the AELTC implemented electronic line calling, which brought an end to the 147-year tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors cannot to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the official to re-examine other decisions, such as:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot touched an opponent's racquet or person during play.
- Possible interference at the conclusion of a point.
Notably, there is an unlimited number on the number of challenges a player can ask for.
A Recent Example
A recent example occurred in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player admitted it was a tough situation for the umpire, but believed his rival had "played the rules effectively."
The umpire watched a replay and ruled the player was guilty of interference, awarding the point to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews are not exclusive to Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the American major since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews implemented at all of its tournaments.
Other Changes
A further change at The Championships this year will be the addition of graphical cues on displays to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where fans have sometimes been unsure if a shot was out or in.
In other news, with exactly a century of days to go until the beginning of the Championships, organizers have also announced an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
