The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in implementing video review systems.
Video review systems will make its debut at The Championships this year.
Competitors will gain the right to challenge certain calls from the official, mirroring the protocol currently in place at both the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
The new system will be accessible on the main stadium and the number one court for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This step comes just a year after the AELTC rolled out electronic line calling, which terminated the 147-year tradition of line judges.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors cannot to dispute the call of the ELC system, but they can request the official to review specific situations, such as:
- If a ball has double-bounced.
- If a shot touched an rival's racket or person during play.
- Potential interference at the conclusion of a point.
Notably, there will be an unlimited number on the number of reviews a competitor can request.
A Recent Example
A recent incident took place in a recent tournament last week, where a top player used the review system against his opponent.
Draper admitted it was a tough situation for the umpire, but thought his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire watched a replay and ruled Draper was responsible for interference, granting the point to Medvedev.
Growing Trend
This technology are not new for Grand Slams. It was adopted at the American major for two years and the Australian Open since 2025.
Additionally, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews implemented at every one of its events.
Other Changes
A further innovation at The Championships 2025 involves the addition of visual indicators on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where spectators have occasionally been unsure whether a ball was in or out.
Finally, with precisely a century of days to go until the start of the Championships, organizers have also revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
