The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Video review systems will make its debut at Wimbledon this year.
Players are granted the right to contest specific decisions from the official, echoing the practice already in use 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 remaining featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This step arrives only a season following the AELTC rolled out ELC, which brought an end to the centuries-old tradition of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Players will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can request the umpire to re-examine other situations, such as:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a shot touched an opponent's racquet or body on the way past.
- Potential hindrance end of a rally.
Notably, there will be an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a player can request.
A Recent Example
A recent case took place in a recent tournament last week, where a top player initiated the review system against his opponent.
The British player conceded it was a difficult situation for the official, but thought his rival had "played the rules effectively."
The umpire watched a video and ruled the player was responsible for interference, granting the point to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. It has been in use at the American major 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 video reviews implemented at every one of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
A further change at The Championships 2025 involves the introduction of visual indicators on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where spectators have occasionally been uncertain if a shot was in or out.
Finally, with precisely 100 days remaining until the beginning of the Championships, organizers have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
