The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in utilizing replay technology.
Replay technology are set to arrive at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players will gain the option to question particular rulings made by the official, echoing the practice currently in use at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.
This technology will be accessible on the main stadium and Court One throughout the Championships and on the other four featured courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This step arrives only a season following the All England Club rolled out electronic line calling, which effectively ended the centuries-old role of line judges.
Scope of Challenges
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the official to review other decisions, including:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot made contact with an rival's racket or body on the way past.
- Possible hindrance end of a rally.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a competitor can request.
A Recent Example
A recent incident took place in Indian Wells recently, where a top player initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player admitted it was a tough situation for the official, but believed his rival had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire watched a video and ruled Draper was responsible for interference, awarding the rally to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology aren't new for major tournaments. The system was adopted at the US Open since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the ATP circuit will have the system implemented at all of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
A further innovation at Wimbledon this year will be the addition of visual indicators on displays to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where fans have occasionally been uncertain whether a ball was out or in.
In other news, with precisely a century of days to go until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have further announced an increase in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
