The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in implementing video review systems.
Video review technology will make its debut at Wimbledon this year.
Competitors will gain the ability to contest particular calls made by the official, mirroring the system already in use at each of the US Open and the Australian Open.
This innovation will be operational on the main stadium and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles matches.
This step arrives only a year after the AELTC introduced electronic line calling, which terminated the longstanding tradition of line judges.
Scope of Challenges
Competitors will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the ELC system, but are allowed to request the official to re-examine specific situations, including:
- If a tennis ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball touched an rival's racket or body on the way past.
- Potential interference at the conclusion of a point.
Importantly, there will be an unlimited number on the amount of reviews a player can initiate.
Practical Application
A recent incident occurred in a recent tournament recently, where Daniil Medvedev used the video challenge against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a difficult call for the official, but believed his rival had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a replay and determined Draper was guilty of interference, awarding the rally to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews aren't exclusive to Grand Slams. The system was adopted at the American major for two years and the Aussie Open this year.
Furthermore, it is becoming more common on the WTA circuit, and by the coming year the men's ATP Tour will have video reviews in place at every one of its tournaments.
Further Updates
Another change at The Championships this year will be the introduction of visual indicators on displays to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This solves situations where the crowd have occasionally been uncertain if a shot was in or out.
Finally, with precisely 100 days remaining until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have also revealed an increase in daily capacity at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
