The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in employing video review technology.
Replay technology are set to arrive at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players are granted the option to contest certain rulings made by the official, following the protocol already in operation at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
This technology will be accessible on the main stadium and Court One throughout the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This move follows just a year after the All England Club rolled out electronic line calling, which effectively ended the longstanding tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the umpire to re-examine other decisions, such as:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a ball made contact with an rival's racket or person during play.
- Possible interference end of a point.
Importantly, there is an unlimited number on the number of challenges a competitor can ask for.
Case in Point
An illustrative incident took place in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a tough situation for the umpire, but believed his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a replay and determined Draper was guilty of hindrance, granting the rally to Medvedev.
Broader Adoption
This technology aren't new for major tournaments. The system was adopted at the American major since 2023 and the Australian Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews in place at all of its events.
Further Updates
A further change at The Championships this year involves the addition of graphical cues on displays to support the audio calls from the ELC system.
This solves instances where fans have sometimes been uncertain if a shot was in or out.
In other news, with precisely 100 days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have also announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
