The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in implementing video review systems.
Replay technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon this year.
Athletes are granted the right to question certain decisions made by the official, following the system currently in place at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
This innovation is slated for use on Centre Court and Court One throughout the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This move follows just a season following the All England Club implemented ELC, which terminated the centuries-old tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the official to re-examine specific decisions, including:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot made contact with an rival's racket or body on the way past.
- Possible interference end of a point.
Importantly, there is an unlimited number on the number of challenges a player can initiate.
Practical Application
A recent example took place in Indian Wells recently, where a top player used the video challenge against Jack Draper.
Draper admitted it was a tough situation for the umpire, but thought his opponent had "played the rules effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a replay and determined the player was guilty of hindrance, granting the rally to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
Video reviews are not new for Grand Slams. It was adopted at the American major since 2023 and the Australian Open this year.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews in place at all of its tournaments.
Other Changes
A further change at The Championships 2025 involves the introduction of visual indicators on displays to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where fans have occasionally been unsure whether a ball was in or out.
In other news, with exactly a century of days to go until the start of the tournament, organizers have also revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
