The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in utilizing replay technology.
Replay technology are set to arrive at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Competitors will gain the ability to question specific rulings from the chair umpire, mirroring the system currently in use at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
This innovation will be operational on Centre Court and the number one court throughout the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This development arrives only a season following the All England Club implemented electronic line calling, which brought an end to the longstanding role of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the electronic line calling, but they can request the umpire to re-examine other situations, such as:
- Whether a ball has double-bounced.
- Whether a shot touched an opponent's racquet or person on the way past.
- Possible hindrance at the conclusion of a rally.
Notably, there is an unlimited number on the number of reviews a competitor can request.
Case in Point
A recent example took place in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the video challenge against Jack Draper.
The British player admitted it was a tough situation for the official, but thought his rival had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire viewed a replay and determined the player was guilty of hindrance, granting the point to his opponent.
Growing Trend
Video reviews aren't new for Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the US Open 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 every one of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
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 instances where fans have sometimes been unsure if a ball was out or in.
In other news, with precisely 100 days to go until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
