Wimbledon Embraces Video Challenge Technology in 2025.

Video review technology will make its debut at The Championships for the 2025 edition.

Athletes will gain the right to question particular calls made by the official, echoing the protocol already in operation at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.

This innovation will be operational on the main stadium and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles matches.

This move comes just a year after the All England Club implemented ELC, which terminated the centuries-old tradition of line officials.

What Can Be Reviewed?

Players will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the official to review specific decisions, such as:

• Whether a ball has double-bounced.
• If a ball touched an opponent's racquet or body during play.
• Potential interference at the conclusion of a rally.

Notably, there is no limit on the number of reviews a player can ask for.

Case in Point

A recent example occurred in Indian Wells recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against Jack Draper.

The British player admitted it was a tough situation for the umpire, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."

Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a replay and ruled Draper was responsible for interference, granting the rally to Medvedev.

Wider Implementation

This technology are not exclusive to major tournaments. The system has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Australian Open since 2025.

Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews in place at all of its events.

Additional Innovations

Another innovation at The Championships 2025 will be the introduction of visual indicators on scoreboards to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.

This solves instances where spectators have occasionally been uncertain whether a ball was in or out.

Finally, with precisely 100 days remaining until the beginning of the Championships, organizers have further revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
