The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in implementing replay technology.
Video review technology will be launched at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Athletes will gain the right to challenge particular calls made by the chair umpire, following the protocol already in use at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
This innovation is slated for use on the main stadium and Court One throughout the Championships and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This step comes just a season following the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which effectively ended the 147-year tradition of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can ask for the official to review specific situations, such as:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball touched an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Potential interference end of a point.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the amount of challenges a competitor can ask for.
Practical Application
A recent example took place in Indian Wells last week, where a top player used the video challenge against Jack Draper.
Draper admitted it was a tough situation for the official, but thought his rival had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire viewed a video and determined Draper was guilty of hindrance, awarding the point to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
Video reviews are not exclusive to major tournaments. The system has been in use at the American major for two years and the Aussie Open this year.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour plans to have the system in place at every one of its tournaments.
Other Changes
Another innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the ELC system.
This solves situations where the crowd have sometimes been unsure whether a shot was out or in.
Finally, with exactly a century of days to go until the beginning of the Championships, organizers have also revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
