The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in employing video review systems.
Replay technology will be launched at The Championships in the upcoming tournament.
Competitors will gain the right to question certain decisions made by the official, echoing the practice already in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This technology is slated for use on Centre Court and Court One for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This step arrives only a year after the All England Club rolled out electronic line calling, which terminated the centuries-old role of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors will not be permitted to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the official to re-examine specific situations, including:
- If a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot touched an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Potential hindrance at the conclusion of a rally.
Notably, there is no cap on the number of reviews a competitor can request.
Case in Point
A recent example occurred in Indian Wells recently, where a top player used the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a tough situation for the umpire, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire viewed a video and determined Draper was guilty of interference, awarding the point to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology are not exclusive to major tournaments. 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 will have the system in place at every one of its events.
Additional Innovations
A further change at The Championships 2025 will be the introduction of visual indicators on displays to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where the crowd have sometimes been unsure whether a ball was out or in.
In other news, with exactly a century of days remaining until the start of the Championships, organizers have also revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
