The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in implementing replay technology.
Replay technology will make its debut at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players will gain the ability to challenge specific calls from the official, mirroring the protocol currently in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
This innovation is slated for use on Centre Court and Court One throughout the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles contests.
This step follows just a year after the AELTC rolled out ELC, which effectively ended the 147-year tradition of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors will not be permitted to dispute the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can ask for the official to review specific situations, including:
- Whether a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot touched an opponent's racquet or body on the way past.
- Potential interference end of a rally.
Importantly, there will be no limit on the number of reviews a competitor can initiate.
Case in Point
An illustrative example took place in Indian Wells last week, where a top player initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a tough situation for the official, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire viewed a video and ruled Draper was guilty of interference, awarding the point to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology are not new for Grand Slams. It has been in use at the American major for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the ATP circuit plans to have video reviews in place at every one of its events.
Further Updates
A further change at The Championships this year involves the introduction of graphical cues on displays 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 precisely 100 days remaining until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have further announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
