The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in utilizing video review systems.
Video review systems will make its debut at Wimbledon this year.
Players will gain the ability to question certain calls from the chair umpire, following the practice already in operation at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
This technology is slated for use on the main stadium and Court One throughout the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This development arrives only a season following the All England Club introduced ELC, which effectively ended the centuries-old role of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Players will not be permitted to challenge the call of the ELC system, but they can request the official to re-examine specific decisions, including:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- If a ball made contact with an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Potential interference end of a rally.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the number of challenges a player can ask for.
A Recent Example
A recent case took place in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against his opponent.
The British player admitted it was a tough call for the official, but believed his rival had "used the regulations quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a replay and ruled Draper was guilty of interference, awarding the point to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. The system has been in use at the American major since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by next season the ATP circuit will have the system implemented at all of its tournaments.
Other Changes
Another change at The Championships this year will be the addition of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the ELC system.
This addresses situations where fans have occasionally been uncertain whether a shot was out or in.
Finally, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have also revealed an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
