The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in utilizing replay technology.
Replay technology will make its debut at Wimbledon this year.
Athletes are granted the right to challenge specific rulings from the official, following the practice currently in place at each of the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
The new system will be operational on the main stadium and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This step comes just a year after the AELTC implemented ELC, which brought an end to the longstanding tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the umpire to re-examine specific situations, including:
- Whether a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- If a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Potential hindrance end of a point.
Notably, there will be no cap on the number of challenges a player can ask for.
Case in Point
A recent case occurred in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
The British player admitted it was a tough call for the official, but believed his rival had "played the rules quite well."
The umpire watched a replay and determined the player was guilty of hindrance, granting the rally to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology are not new for Grand Slams. It was adopted at the US Open since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit will have the system implemented at every one of its events.
Other Changes
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the addition of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This addresses instances where fans have sometimes been unsure whether a ball was out or in.
Finally, with exactly 100 days to go until the beginning of the tournament, organizers have also announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
