Wimbledon has introduced video review technology for the first time, available on six courts during this year's Grand Slam tournament. The technology, which debuted in Grand Slams at the 2023 US Open, will be used on Centre Court and other courts, allowing players to review specific calls made by the chair umpire.
Centre Court and No. 1 Court will have video review available throughout the tournament, while No. 2 Court, No. 3 Court, Court 12, and Court 18 will use the technology for singles matches. Players will not be limited in the number of reviews they can request.
The grass-court major is also adding visual indicators for electronic line-calling on scoreboards, showing 'out' and 'fault' calls. Players will be able to review specific judgement calls made by the chair umpire, such as 'not-up', 'foul shot', or 'touch', either on a point-ending call, when a player immediately stops play, or immediately after the completion of a point.
