The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in implementing replay systems.
Video review technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon this year.
Competitors will gain the option to contest particular decisions made by the official, following the practice already in use at both the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
This technology will be operational on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles contests.
This development follows just a season following the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which brought an end to the centuries-old tradition of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the umpire to review specific situations, including:
- Whether a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball made contact with an rival's racket or person during play.
- Possible interference end of a point.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the number of challenges a competitor can ask for.
A Recent Example
A recent example took place in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against his opponent.
Draper conceded it was a tough call for the umpire, but believed his opponent had "played the rules effectively."
The umpire watched a replay and ruled the player was responsible for interference, granting the point to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the US Open since 2023 and the Australian Open this year.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews in place at every one of its events.
Further Updates
Another change at The Championships 2025 will be the addition of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the ELC system.
This addresses situations where spectators have occasionally been uncertain if a ball was in or out.
Finally, with exactly a century of days to go until the start of the tournament, organizers have also announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
