The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in utilizing replay technology.
Replay systems are set to arrive at Wimbledon this year.
Players will gain the option to contest specific calls from the official, echoing the practice already in operation at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system will be operational on the main stadium and the number one court throughout the tournament and on the other four featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This move comes just a season following the All England Club introduced electronic line calling, which brought an end to the longstanding tradition of line officials.
Scope of Challenges
Players will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the ELC system, but are allowed to ask for the official to re-examine specific situations, including:
- Whether a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball touched an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Possible hindrance end of a rally.
Importantly, there will be no cap on the amount of reviews a competitor can ask for.
Case in Point
An illustrative incident took place in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper admitted it was a difficult call for the official, but thought his rival had "played the rules quite well."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a video and ruled Draper was guilty of interference, awarding the point to his opponent.
Wider Implementation
This technology are not exclusive to Grand Slams. It has been in use at the American major for two years and the Aussie Open this year.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have the system implemented at every one of its tournaments.
Additional Innovations
Another innovation at The Championships 2025 involves the introduction of visual indicators on displays to support the verbal announcements from the ELC system.
This solves situations where fans have sometimes been unsure whether a shot was in or out.
In other news, with exactly 100 days remaining until the beginning of the tournament, organizers have also announced an increase in daily attendance at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
