The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in utilizing video review technology.
Replay technology will be launched at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Competitors will gain the right to question specific rulings from the official, echoing the practice already in operation at both the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system is slated for use 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 move arrives only a year after the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which terminated the longstanding tradition of line judges.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Competitors cannot to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the official to review other decisions, including:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a shot made contact with an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Possible hindrance at the conclusion of a rally.
Importantly, there is no limit on the number of challenges a player can ask for.
A Recent Example
A recent case occurred in Indian Wells recently, where a top player initiated the video challenge against Jack Draper.
The British player admitted it was a difficult situation for the official, but believed his rival had "played the rules effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and ruled Draper was guilty of hindrance, granting the rally to Medvedev.
Broader Adoption
This technology aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the US Open for two years and the Aussie Open this year.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour will have the system implemented at every one of its events.
Other Changes
A further change at The Championships this year will be the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses situations where spectators have occasionally been uncertain if a shot was in or out.
In other news, with exactly 100 days remaining until the start of the Championships, organizers have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
