The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in implementing replay technology.
Video review technology will make its debut at Wimbledon this year.
Players will gain the ability to question particular calls from the chair umpire, mirroring the practice already in place at each of the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
This innovation will be accessible on the main stadium and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This move comes just a season following the AELTC implemented electronic line calling, which effectively ended the longstanding role of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players cannot to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the umpire to review other situations, such as:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- If a ball touched an rival's racket or body during play.
- Potential hindrance at the conclusion of a point.
Notably, there is an unlimited number on the number of reviews a competitor can initiate.
Case in Point
A recent example occurred in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a difficult call for the umpire, but believed his rival had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire viewed a replay and determined Draper was responsible for interference, granting the point to his opponent.
Growing Trend
This technology are not exclusive to major tournaments. The system was adopted at the American major for two years and the Aussie Open this year.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews in place at all of its events.
Further Updates
Another change at The Championships 2025 will be the addition of graphical cues on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This addresses situations where spectators have occasionally been uncertain whether a shot was out or in.
In other news, with exactly a century of days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have also revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
