The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in employing video review technology.
Replay systems will be launched at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Players are granted the ability to challenge specific rulings from the chair umpire, echoing the practice currently in use at both the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
The new system will be accessible on Centre Court and Court One throughout the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This move follows just a season following the AELTC implemented ELC, which terminated the centuries-old role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players will not be permitted to challenge the call of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the umpire to re-examine specific situations, including:
- If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a shot touched an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Potential interference end of a point.
Notably, there is an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a player can initiate.
Case in Point
A recent case occurred in a recent tournament recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a tough call for the official, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire viewed a video and determined the player was guilty of interference, awarding the rally to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews are not new for Grand Slams. It has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Australian Open this year.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit will have the system implemented at all of its tournaments.
Other Changes
A further innovation at Wimbledon this year will be the addition of graphical cues on scoreboards to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where the crowd have occasionally been uncertain whether a ball was in or out.
In other news, with precisely a century of days to go until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have also announced an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
