Wimbledon Embraces Video Replay Technology in 2025.

Video review technology are set to arrive at The Championships for the 2025 edition.

Competitors are granted the right to challenge specific calls from the chair umpire, echoing the system already in use at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.

The new system will be operational on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the other four featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.

This step follows just a year after the AELTC implemented electronic line calling, which effectively ended the centuries-old tradition of line judges.

Reviewable Decisions

Competitors cannot to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the official to re-examine specific decisions, including:

• Whether a tennis ball has bounced twice.
• If a ball made contact with an rival's racket or body during play.
• Potential hindrance at the conclusion of a point.

Notably, there is an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a player can request.

Practical Application

An illustrative case occurred in a recent tournament recently, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against his opponent.

The British player admitted it was a tough call for the umpire, but thought his opponent had "used the regulations effectively."

Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and determined the player was responsible for interference, awarding the rally to Medvedev.

Broader Adoption

This technology are not new for major tournaments. The system was adopted at the US Open for two years and the Australian Open since 2025.

Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit plans to have the system in place at every one of its events.

Additional Innovations

Another innovation at The Championships this year involves the introduction of graphical cues on displays to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.

This addresses situations where fans have sometimes been unsure whether a shot was in or out.

Finally, with exactly 100 days to go until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have further announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
