The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in employing video review systems.
Video review technology are set to arrive at Wimbledon this year.
Players are granted the right to challenge particular calls from the official, following the protocol already in place at both the US Open and the Australian Open.
The new system is slated for use on the main stadium and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles matches.
This development arrives only a year after the All England Club introduced ELC, which terminated the 147-year tradition of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Players cannot to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but are allowed to request the official to review specific situations, including:
- Whether a tennis ball has double-bounced.
- If a ball touched an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Potential interference end of a rally.
Importantly, there is an unlimited number on the amount of challenges a player can initiate.
Case in Point
A recent example took place in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a tough call for the umpire, but believed his rival had "played the rules effectively."
The umpire viewed a replay and determined Draper was guilty of interference, granting the point to his opponent.
Growing Trend
Video reviews are not exclusive to Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the American major for two years and the Australian Open this year.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews in place at all of its tournaments.
Other Changes
A further change at The Championships 2025 will be the addition of visual indicators on displays to complement the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This addresses instances where spectators have sometimes been uncertain whether a ball was out or in.
Finally, with precisely a century of days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, the AELTC have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in the qualifying venue.
