Wimbledon Introduces Video Review System This Season.

Replay technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon this year.

Players will gain the option to contest certain decisions made by the official, mirroring the system currently in place at each of the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.

The new system will be operational on Centre Court and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles matches.

This move follows just a year after the All England Club rolled out electronic line calling, which brought an end to the 147-year role of line judges.

Reviewable Decisions

Players will not be permitted to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but they can request the umpire to re-examine other situations, such as:

• Whether a ball has double-bounced.
• If a shot touched an rival's racket or body on the way past.
• Potential hindrance end of a rally.

Importantly, there will be no cap on the number of challenges a competitor can ask for.

Practical Application

An illustrative example took place in Indian Wells last week, where a top player initiated the review system against Jack Draper.

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

Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and ruled Draper was guilty of hindrance, awarding the point to his opponent.

Wider Implementation

This technology are not exclusive to Grand Slams. It has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Australian Open since 2025.

Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews implemented at all of its tournaments.

Further Updates

Another change at Wimbledon 2025 will be the introduction of visual indicators on scoreboards to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.

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

In other news, with exactly a century of days to go until the beginning of the Championships, organizers have also revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
