Wimbledon Introduces Video Replay System This Season.

Replay systems are set to arrive at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.

Competitors will gain the ability to question certain rulings from the chair umpire, following the protocol currently in use at each of the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.

This technology will be operational on the main stadium and the number one court throughout the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are hosting singles matches.

This development comes just a season following the AELTC introduced electronic line calling, which effectively ended the longstanding tradition of line officials.

What Can Be Reviewed?

Competitors will not be permitted to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but they can request the official to re-examine other decisions, including:

• If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
• Whether a shot touched an rival's racket or person on the way past.
• Potential hindrance end of a point.

Importantly, there will be no cap on the amount of challenges a player can initiate.

Case in Point

A recent case occurred in Indian Wells recently, where a top player initiated the review system against his opponent.

The British player admitted it was a difficult situation for the official, but believed his rival had "played the rules quite well."

Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a replay and ruled Draper was responsible for hindrance, awarding the point to Medvedev.

Growing Trend

This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. It 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 the coming year the ATP circuit will have the system in place at all of its tournaments.

Further Updates

A further change at The Championships this year involves the addition of visual indicators on scoreboards to support the verbal announcements from the ELC system.

This addresses situations where the crowd have sometimes been uncertain if a shot was out or in.

Finally, with exactly a century of days to go until the start of the tournament, organizers have further announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
