The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in employing video review technology.
Replay technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.
Competitors will gain the option to question certain decisions made by the official, mirroring the protocol currently in place at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system will be operational on the main stadium and the number one court throughout the Championships and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This development comes just a season following the AELTC rolled out ELC, which terminated the centuries-old role of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players will not be permitted to dispute the call of the ELC system, but are allowed to ask for the official to review specific situations, such as:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- If a ball touched an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Possible hindrance end of a point.
Notably, there is an unlimited number on the number of reviews a player can initiate.
Case in Point
An illustrative case occurred in a recent tournament recently, where a top player initiated the video challenge against Jack Draper.
The British player admitted it was a difficult call for the umpire, but believed his opponent had "played the rules quite well."
The umpire viewed a replay and determined the player was responsible for hindrance, awarding the rally to his opponent.
Growing Trend
This technology are not new for major tournaments. It has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have the system implemented at all of its events.
Other Changes
Another innovation at The Championships this year will be the introduction of graphical cues on displays to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where fans have occasionally been uncertain whether a ball was in or out.
In other news, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have further announced an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
