Wimbledon Introduces Video Replay System in 2025.

Replay systems will make its debut at Wimbledon for the 2025 edition.

Players are granted the right to contest particular decisions made by the chair umpire, echoing the practice already in operation at each of the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.

This technology will be operational on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles contests.

This development follows just a year after the AELTC implemented electronic line calling, which terminated the centuries-old tradition of line officials.

Reviewable Decisions

Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the call of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the umpire to re-examine other decisions, including:

• If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
• Whether a shot touched an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
• Potential hindrance end of a point.

Importantly, there is no limit on the amount of reviews a competitor can initiate.

A Recent Example

A recent case took place in a recent tournament recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.

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

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

Growing Trend

This technology aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. It was adopted at the US Open for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.

Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit plans to have video reviews implemented at every one of its tournaments.

Additional Innovations

Another innovation at The Championships this year involves the addition of graphical cues on scoreboards to complement the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.

This addresses instances where fans have occasionally been uncertain whether a ball was out or in.

Finally, with precisely 100 days remaining until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
