Wimbledon Adopts Video Replay Technology This Season.

Replay technology will be launched at The Championships in the upcoming tournament.

Players will gain the right to question specific decisions made by the official, mirroring the practice currently in use at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.

This technology will be operational on the main stadium and Court One throughout the tournament and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles contests.

This step arrives only a season following the All England Club introduced ELC, which terminated the centuries-old role of line officials.

What Can Be Reviewed?

Competitors will not be permitted to dispute the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the umpire to review other decisions, such as:

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

Notably, there is an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a competitor can request.

Practical Application

A recent incident took place in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against Jack Draper.

Draper conceded it was a difficult call for the umpire, but believed his rival had "played the rules quite well."

The umpire viewed a video and ruled the player was guilty of hindrance, granting the point to his opponent.

Growing Trend

Video reviews are not exclusive to Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the American major since 2023 and the Australian Open this year.

Additionally, it is becoming more common on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have the system implemented at every one of its tournaments.

Additional Innovations

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

This addresses situations where the crowd have sometimes been uncertain if a shot was out or in.

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