The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in utilizing video review systems.
Video review technology will be launched at The Championships this year.
Athletes are granted the option to challenge specific rulings from the official, echoing the protocol already in use at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system will be accessible on the main stadium and the number one court throughout the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This step comes just a season following the AELTC implemented electronic line calling, which effectively ended the 147-year role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors cannot to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the official to re-examine other situations, including:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or body on the way past.
- Potential interference at the conclusion of a point.
Importantly, there is no cap on the number of reviews a competitor can initiate.
Practical Application
An illustrative incident took place in Indian Wells last week, where a top player used the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a difficult situation for the official, but believed his opponent had "played the rules quite well."
The umpire viewed a video and ruled the player was responsible for hindrance, awarding the rally to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. 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 next season the ATP circuit plans to have video reviews in place at all of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
A further change at Wimbledon 2025 will be the addition of visual indicators on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This addresses instances where the crowd have sometimes been uncertain whether a ball was in or out.
Finally, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have also revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
