The tournament joins the American and Aussie Opens in implementing video review technology.
Video review technology are set to arrive at The Championships in the upcoming tournament.
Athletes will gain the right to contest specific decisions from the chair umpire, echoing the practice currently in place at each of the American Grand Slam and the Australian Open.
The new system will be accessible on Centre Court and the number one court throughout the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are hosting singles contests.
This move follows just a season following the AELTC implemented ELC, which terminated the longstanding tradition of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors cannot to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can ask for the umpire to re-examine specific situations, including:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a shot touched an rival's racket or person during play.
- Potential interference end of a rally.
Importantly, there will be no cap on the amount of reviews a player can request.
A Recent Example
A recent example occurred in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the video challenge against Jack Draper.
The British player conceded it was a tough situation for the official, but believed his opponent had "played the rules quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and determined Draper was guilty of hindrance, awarding the point to his opponent.
Growing Trend
Video reviews are not new for Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the women’s WTA Tour, and by next season the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews implemented at every one of its events.
Other Changes
A further innovation at The Championships this year involves the introduction of visual indicators on scoreboards to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This addresses instances where spectators have sometimes been uncertain whether a ball was in or out.
Finally, with precisely 100 days remaining until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have further announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
