Wimbledon Adopts Video Challenge System in 2025.

Replay technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon this year.

Players will gain the ability to challenge specific rulings from the official, echoing the protocol currently in place at each of the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.

The new system will be accessible on the main stadium and Court One throughout the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles contests.

This development follows just a year after the AELTC rolled out ELC, which brought an end to the 147-year role of line officials.

What Can Be Reviewed?

Players will not be permitted to dispute the accuracy of the ELC system, but are allowed to ask for the official to review other decisions, such as:

• Whether a ball has bounced twice.
• If a shot touched an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
• Potential interference end of a rally.

Notably, there will be no cap on the number of challenges a competitor can request.

A Recent Example

An illustrative incident took place in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against his opponent.

The British player conceded it was a difficult call for the official, but thought his rival had "used the regulations quite well."

Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and determined Draper was guilty of interference, granting the rally to Medvedev.

Growing Trend

Video reviews aren't new for Grand Slams. The system has been in use at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open this year.

Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have the system implemented at every one of its tournaments.

Other Changes

Another innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the addition of visual indicators on displays to support the verbal announcements from the ELC system.

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

In other news, with exactly 100 days to go until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have further revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
