Wimbledon Introduces Video Replay System This Season.

Video review systems will make its debut at The Championships for the 2025 edition.

Athletes will gain the ability to question particular rulings from the official, mirroring the practice already in operation at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.

The new system is slated for use on Centre Court and Court One throughout the tournament and on the other four show courts when they are hosting singles matches.

This step comes just a year after the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which terminated the longstanding tradition of line judges.

Scope of Challenges

Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the call of the ELC system, but are allowed to ask for the official to re-examine specific decisions, including:

• Whether a tennis ball has double-bounced.
• If a shot touched an opponent's racquet or person during play.
• Potential interference at the conclusion of a point.

Notably, there is no cap on the amount of challenges a player can initiate.

Case in Point

A recent case occurred in a recent tournament last week, where a top player used the video challenge against Jack Draper.

Draper conceded it was a difficult call for the umpire, but thought his rival had "played the rules quite well."

Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and ruled the player was responsible for interference, granting the point to Medvedev.

Growing Trend

This technology aren't new for major tournaments. The system was adopted at the US Open for two years and the Australian Open this year.

Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit will have video reviews implemented at all of its events.

Other Changes

A further innovation at The Championships 2025 involves the addition of visual indicators on displays to support the verbal announcements from the ELC system.

This solves instances where the crowd have sometimes been unsure if a ball was out or in.

In other news, with precisely a century of days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have further announced an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
