The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in employing video review technology.
Replay technology will be launched at The Championships this year.
Players are granted the ability to question particular calls made by the chair umpire, following the system already in use at each of the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
The new system is slated for use on Centre Court and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This development follows just a year after the All England Club introduced ELC, which brought an end to the 147-year role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the umpire to re-examine other situations, including:
- If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- If a shot made contact with an rival's racket or body during play.
- Possible interference end of a point.
Notably, there will be no cap on the amount of challenges a competitor can request.
A Recent Example
A recent case occurred in a recent tournament recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the video challenge against his opponent.
Draper conceded it was a difficult call for the umpire, but believed his rival had "played the rules effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and ruled the player was guilty of hindrance, granting the point to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews aren't new for Grand Slams. 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 ATP circuit will have the system implemented at all of its tournaments.
Other Changes
Another change at The Championships 2025 will be the introduction of visual indicators on displays to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where spectators have sometimes been unsure whether a ball was in or out.
Finally, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the Championships, organizers have further revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
