Wimbledon will follow the American and Aussie Opens in implementing video review systems.
Replay systems will make its debut at The Championships in the upcoming tournament.
Competitors will gain the right to challenge particular calls made by the official, mirroring the system already in use at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
This technology will be operational on the main stadium and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the other four show courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This step arrives only a year after the AELTC rolled out electronic line calling, which terminated the longstanding tradition of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to ask for the official to review specific decisions, such as:
- If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a shot touched an opponent's racquet or body during play.
- Potential interference end of a rally.
Notably, there is no limit on the amount of challenges a player can ask for.
A Recent Example
An illustrative example occurred in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the video challenge against his opponent.
The British player admitted it was a tough call for the official, but thought his opponent had "played the rules effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a replay and determined the player was guilty of interference, awarding the rally to Medvedev.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews aren't new for major tournaments. The system has been in use at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews implemented at all of its events.
Additional Innovations
Another innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the addition of graphical cues on scoreboards to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where the crowd have occasionally been unsure if a ball was in or out.
Finally, with exactly 100 days to go until the start of the Championships, organizers have further announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
