The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in implementing video review technology.
Replay technology will make its debut at The Championships this year.
Athletes are granted the option to question certain rulings from the chair umpire, following the system currently in operation at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
The new system is slated for use on the main stadium and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This step comes just a year after the AELTC introduced electronic line calling, which effectively ended the longstanding tradition of line officials.
Scope of Challenges
Players cannot to dispute the call 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 ball touched an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Potential interference end of a rally.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a competitor can ask for.
A Recent Example
An illustrative incident took place in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against his opponent.
Draper conceded it was a difficult situation for the official, but believed his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
The umpire watched a replay and ruled Draper was responsible for hindrance, awarding the rally to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
This technology aren't exclusive to major tournaments. The system was adopted at the American major for two years and the Australian Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the women’s WTA Tour, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have the system in place at all of its events.
Further Updates
Another innovation at The Championships 2025 involves the addition of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This solves instances where the crowd have sometimes been unsure whether a ball was in or out.
In other news, with precisely 100 days to go until the beginning of the tournament, organizers have also revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifiers in Roehampton.
