The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in employing replay systems.
Video review technology will be launched at The Championships in the upcoming tournament.
Competitors will gain the ability to challenge particular calls made by the chair umpire, echoing the system already in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
The new system will be operational on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This development comes just a year after the All England Club introduced electronic line calling, which brought an end to the longstanding tradition of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors cannot to challenge the call of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the umpire to review other situations, including:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a shot touched an rival's racket or body during play.
- Possible interference end of a point.
Importantly, there will be no cap on the number of reviews a competitor can initiate.
Practical Application
An illustrative example occurred in Indian Wells last week, where a top player used the review system against his opponent.
Draper conceded it was a tough call for the umpire, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire viewed a replay and ruled the player was guilty of hindrance, awarding the rally to his opponent.
Growing Trend
Video reviews are not exclusive to major tournaments. It has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Australian Open this year.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the ATP circuit plans to have the system in place at all of its events.
Further Updates
Another change at The Championships 2025 will be the introduction of graphical cues on displays to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where the crowd have sometimes been unsure whether a shot was out or in.
Finally, with exactly a century of days to go until the beginning of the Championships, the AELTC have further revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
