The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in implementing replay systems.
Video review systems will make its debut at The Championships this year.
Competitors are granted the option to question certain decisions from the chair umpire, mirroring the system currently in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
This innovation will be operational on Centre Court and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This step comes just a season following the AELTC rolled out ELC, which brought an end to the centuries-old tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can ask for the official to re-examine specific decisions, including:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- If a shot made contact with an rival's racket or body during play.
- Potential hindrance at the conclusion of a rally.
Notably, there is no limit on the amount of reviews a competitor can ask for.
Practical Application
A recent example took place in a recent tournament recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the video challenge against his opponent.
Draper conceded it was a tough situation for the official, but thought his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire viewed a replay and determined Draper was responsible for hindrance, granting the rally to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
This technology aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. It has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the ATP circuit plans to have video reviews implemented at every one of its events.
Other Changes
A further innovation at The Championships 2025 will be the introduction of visual indicators on displays to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where fans have sometimes been unsure if a shot was in or out.
Finally, with precisely 100 days to go until the start of the Championships, organizers have further revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
