The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in implementing video review systems.
Replay systems are set to arrive at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Competitors are granted the ability to challenge specific calls from the official, echoing the system already in place at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system will be operational on Centre Court and the number one court throughout the Championships and on the other four show courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This step follows just a year after the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which brought an end to the longstanding tradition of line judges.
Scope of Challenges
Players will not be permitted to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the official to re-examine other decisions, including:
- If a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a ball touched an opponent's racquet or body during play.
- Possible hindrance at the conclusion of a point.
Importantly, there will be no limit on the amount of challenges a player can ask for.
Practical Application
A recent incident took place in Indian Wells last week, where a top player used the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper admitted it was a tough situation for the umpire, but believed his rival had "played the rules effectively."
The umpire viewed a replay and ruled the player was guilty of hindrance, granting the point to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
This technology are not exclusive to Grand Slams. The system has been in use at the American major for two years and the Australian Open this year.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour plans to have the system implemented at all of its tournaments.
Further Updates
Another change at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This solves situations where the crowd have occasionally been unsure whether a ball was in or out.
Finally, with exactly a century of days remaining until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have also revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
