Wimbledon Adopts Video Replay Technology for the First Time.

The Championships tennis court with video review system — Wimbledon will follow the American and Aussie Opens in utilizing video review technology.

Replay technology are set to arrive at The Championships for the 2025 edition.

Competitors will gain the right to contest certain rulings from the official, echoing the system already in place at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.

This technology is slated for use on the main stadium and the number one court for the duration of the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles matches.

This move arrives only a season following the AELTC rolled out electronic line calling, which effectively ended the longstanding tradition of line judges.

Scope of Challenges

Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the call of the ELC system, but are allowed to request the official to re-examine specific decisions, including:

If a ball has double-bounced.
Whether a shot touched an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
Possible interference end of a rally.

Notably, there is no cap on the amount of reviews a competitor can request.

Practical Application

An illustrative case took place in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against Jack Draper.

Draper admitted it was a difficult situation for the official, but believed his rival had "played the rules effectively."

The umpire watched a replay and ruled Draper was guilty of hindrance, granting the rally to his opponent.

Broader Adoption

This technology aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the American major for two years and the Australian Open this year.

Additionally, it is becoming more common on the women’s WTA Tour, and by next season the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews implemented at all of its tournaments.

Other Changes

A further innovation at The Championships this year involves the introduction of visual indicators on scoreboards to complement the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.

This solves instances where the crowd have occasionally been uncertain whether a shot was out or in.

Finally, with precisely 100 days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, organizers have also revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
