The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Replay technology will be launched at Wimbledon in the upcoming tournament.
Athletes will gain the ability to challenge certain calls from the official, echoing the protocol currently in place at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
This technology will be accessible on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles matches.
This development arrives only a year after the All England Club rolled out ELC, which brought an end to the longstanding tradition of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players cannot to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the umpire to review specific situations, including:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- If a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or person during play.
- Possible interference end of a point.
Notably, there will be no limit on the number of challenges a competitor can initiate.
A Recent Example
An illustrative case took place in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
Draper conceded it was a tough call for the umpire, but believed his rival had "played the rules quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a video and ruled the player was guilty of interference, granting the rally to Medvedev.
Broader Adoption
This technology are not new for major tournaments. 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 women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the ATP circuit plans to have video reviews implemented at every one of its tournaments.
Further Updates
Another change at The Championships this year will be the introduction of visual indicators on displays to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses situations where spectators have sometimes been uncertain whether a ball was out or in.
Finally, with exactly 100 days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, organizers have also revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
