Wimbledon Introduces Video Review System in 2025.

Replay systems will be launched at The Championships this year.

Players will gain the ability to question particular calls from the chair umpire, echoing the system currently in operation at both the US Open and the Aussie major.

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

This step follows just a year after the AELTC introduced electronic line calling, which effectively ended the 147-year tradition of line officials.

What Can Be Reviewed?

Competitors will not be permitted to dispute the call of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the official to review other situations, including:

• If a ball has bounced twice.
• If a ball touched an rival's racket or body during play.
• Potential interference end of a rally.

Importantly, there will be no cap on the amount of reviews a player can ask for.

Case in Point

A recent example took place in a recent tournament last week, where a top player used the review system against Jack Draper.

Draper admitted it was a tough situation for the official, but believed his rival had "used the regulations effectively."

Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and ruled the player was guilty of interference, granting the rally to Medvedev.

Broader Adoption

This technology are not new for major tournaments. The system has been in use at the American major for two years and the Australian Open this year.

Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the ATP circuit will have video reviews in place at every one of its tournaments.

Additional Innovations

Another innovation at Wimbledon this year will be the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.

This solves instances where spectators have sometimes been unsure whether a shot was out or in.

In other news, with exactly 100 days to go until the start of the tournament, organizers have further revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
