Wimbledon Introduces Video Review Technology in 2025.

Replay systems will be launched at The Championships this year.

Players are granted the right to challenge particular calls made by the chair umpire, following the practice currently in operation at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.

The new system is slated for use on the main stadium and Court One throughout the tournament and on the remaining show courts when they are hosting singles contests.

This step follows just a season following the All England Club introduced electronic line calling, which brought an end to the 147-year role of line officials.

What Can Be Reviewed?

Competitors cannot to challenge the call of the ELC system, but they can request the umpire to re-examine other situations, such as:

• If a tennis ball has double-bounced.
• Whether a ball made contact with an rival's racket or body on the way past.
• Possible hindrance end of a rally.

Notably, there is no cap on the amount of challenges a player can ask for.

Case in Point

A recent incident occurred in a recent tournament recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against Jack Draper.

Draper conceded it was a tough call for the umpire, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."

The umpire watched a video and determined the player was guilty of hindrance, awarding the point to Medvedev.

Broader Adoption

Video reviews aren't exclusive to major tournaments. The system has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Aussie Open this year.

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

Additional Innovations

A further innovation at Wimbledon this year involves the addition of visual indicators on scoreboards to complement the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.

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

In other news, with precisely 100 days to go until the beginning of the Championships, organizers have further announced an expansion in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
