The tournament joins the US and Australian Opens in utilizing replay systems.
Video review systems will make its debut at The Championships this year.
Players are granted the right to contest particular rulings made by the official, following the protocol currently in place at both the US Open and the Australian Open.
This technology will be accessible on Centre Court and Court One throughout the Championships and on the other four show courts when they are staging singles contests.
This move comes just a season following the All England Club rolled out ELC, which terminated the longstanding role of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players will not be permitted to challenge the accuracy of the ELC system, but are allowed to ask for the umpire to review specific situations, such as:
- Whether a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball made contact with an rival's racket or person on the way past.
- Possible interference end of a point.
Importantly, there is no limit on the amount of challenges a competitor can request.
Case in Point
A recent case occurred in Indian Wells last week, where Daniil Medvedev used the review system against Jack Draper.
Draper admitted it was a tough call for the umpire, but thought his opponent had "used the regulations quite well."
The umpire watched a video and determined the player was guilty of hindrance, granting the point to Medvedev.
Wider Implementation
Video reviews aren't exclusive to major tournaments. It was adopted at the US Open for two years and the Aussie Open this year.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour will have the system implemented at all of its events.
Other Changes
A further innovation at Wimbledon this year will be the addition of visual indicators on displays to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses instances where spectators have sometimes been unsure if a shot was out or in.
Finally, with exactly a century of days to go until the start of the tournament, the AELTC have further revealed an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
