Wimbledon Embraces Video Replay Technology in 2025.

Replay technology will be launched at The Championships this year.

Athletes are granted the right to contest certain decisions from the official, echoing the protocol currently in operation at both the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.

This innovation will be accessible on the main stadium and Court One throughout the Championships and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles contests.

This move follows just a year after the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which effectively ended the centuries-old tradition of line officials.

What Can Be Reviewed?

Competitors cannot to dispute the call of the ELC system, but they can ask for the official to re-examine other situations, such as:

• If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
• If a ball touched an opponent's racquet or person during play.
• Potential interference at the conclusion of a rally.

Notably, there will be an unlimited number on the number of challenges a player can initiate.

Practical Application

A recent example occurred in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the video challenge against his opponent.

The British player conceded it was a tough call for the umpire, but believed his rival had "used the regulations quite well."

The umpire watched a replay and determined the player was responsible for interference, granting the point to his opponent.

Growing Trend

This technology aren't new for Grand Slams. The system has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.

Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the ATP circuit plans to have the system in place at every one of its events.

Further Updates

A further change at The Championships this year will be the introduction of visual indicators on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the ELC system.

This solves situations where fans have occasionally been unsure whether a ball was out or in.

In other news, with precisely 100 days to go until the beginning of the Championships, organizers have further revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
