The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in employing replay systems.
Replay technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Competitors are granted the option to question specific rulings made by the chair umpire, mirroring the protocol already in operation at each of the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
The new system will be accessible on Centre Court and the number one court throughout the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This move comes just a season following the All England Club introduced electronic line calling, which brought an end to the longstanding role of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors will not be permitted to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the official to review specific decisions, such as:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot made contact with an rival's racket or body during play.
- Potential interference end of a rally.
Notably, there will be an unlimited number on the number of reviews a competitor can ask for.
Case in Point
An illustrative example took place in Indian Wells last week, where a top player used the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a difficult call for the official, but thought his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a video and determined Draper was responsible for interference, awarding the rally to his opponent.
Growing Trend
This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. It has been in use at the American major for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit will have video reviews implemented at every one of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
A further change at The Championships this year involves the introduction of graphical cues on displays to support the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This solves instances where fans have sometimes been unsure whether a shot was in or out.
Finally, with precisely 100 days to go until the start of the Championships, organizers have also revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
