Wimbledon will follow the US and Australian Opens in implementing video review technology.
Video review systems will be launched at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Competitors will gain the option to question specific calls made by the official, following the practice currently in place at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.
This technology will be accessible on the main stadium and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This step comes just a season following the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which brought an end to the 147-year tradition of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players cannot to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the official to review specific decisions, such as:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Potential hindrance end of a point.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the number of challenges a competitor can ask for.
Case in Point
A recent example took place in a recent tournament 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 thought his opponent had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a replay and determined Draper was guilty of hindrance, granting the rally to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews aren't new for Grand Slams. The system has been in use at the US Open for two years 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 Wimbledon this year will be the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where fans have sometimes been unsure whether a shot was in or out.
In other news, with precisely a century of days to go until the start of the tournament, organizers have further announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
