Wimbledon Embraces Video Replay Technology in 2025.

Replay systems will make its debut at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.

Players are granted the option to question particular rulings from the official, echoing the practice already in use at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.

The new system is slated for use on the main stadium and Court One throughout the tournament and on the other four show courts when they are hosting singles matches.

This development follows just a year after the AELTC implemented electronic line calling, which terminated the centuries-old role of line judges.

What Can Be Reviewed?

Competitors cannot to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but they can request the umpire to re-examine specific situations, including:

• Whether a ball has bounced twice.
• If a ball made contact with an opponent's racquet or body on the way past.
• Potential hindrance end of a point.

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

A Recent Example

A recent example occurred in a recent tournament last week, where a top player used the review system against his opponent.

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

The umpire watched a video and determined the player was responsible for hindrance, granting the rally to Medvedev.

Growing Trend

This technology aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. The system has been in use at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.

Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews implemented at every one of its events.

Other Changes

A further innovation at The Championships this year involves the introduction of visual indicators on scoreboards to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.

This solves situations where spectators have sometimes been unsure if a shot was out or in.

Finally, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the Championships, organizers have also announced an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
