The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in employing replay systems.
Video review technology will be launched at The Championships this year.
Competitors will gain the ability to question specific rulings from the chair umpire, mirroring the system currently in place at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
This technology will be accessible on Centre Court and the number one court throughout the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles matches.
This development arrives only a year after the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which brought an end to the longstanding role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players will not be permitted to dispute the accuracy of the ELC system, but are allowed to request the umpire to re-examine specific situations, such as:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- If a shot made contact with an opponent's racquet or body during play.
- Potential hindrance end of a point.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the number of reviews a player can ask for.
Case in Point
A recent case occurred in a recent tournament recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
The British player conceded it was a tough call for the official, but believed his opponent had "played the rules quite well."
The umpire viewed a replay and ruled the player was guilty of interference, awarding the rally to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews aren't new for major tournaments. It has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open this year.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have the system in place at every one of its events.
Additional Innovations
A further change at The Championships 2025 involves the addition of visual indicators on displays to support the audio calls from the ELC system.
This solves situations where the crowd have occasionally been uncertain whether a shot was in or out.
Finally, with exactly a century of days to go until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
