Wimbledon Introduces Video Review Technology in 2025.

Video review technology are set to arrive at The Championships for the 2025 edition.

Athletes are granted the right to challenge certain calls made by the official, mirroring the practice already in place at both the US Open and the Australian Open.

This technology will be accessible on the main stadium and the number one court for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles matches.

This move follows just a year after the AELTC implemented ELC, which effectively ended the centuries-old role of line officials.

Reviewable Decisions

Players will not be permitted to challenge the call of the ELC system, but are allowed to ask for the official to review specific situations, such as:

• Whether a ball has double-bounced.
• If a ball made contact with an rival's racket or person during play.
• Potential interference end of a rally.

Importantly, there is no limit on the number of reviews a player can request.

A Recent Example

A recent incident occurred in Indian Wells recently, where a top player used the review system against Jack Draper.

Draper conceded it was a tough call for the official, but believed his rival had "used the regulations effectively."

Official Aurelie Tourte watched a replay and ruled the player was guilty of hindrance, granting the rally to Medvedev.

Wider Implementation

Video reviews aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. It was adopted at the US Open for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.

Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have the system in place at every one of its tournaments.

Other Changes

A further innovation at Wimbledon this year involves the introduction of visual indicators on displays to support the audio calls from the ELC system.

This solves situations where fans have sometimes been uncertain if a ball was in or out.

In other news, with exactly a century of days to go until the start of the Championships, organizers have further announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
