Wimbledon introduces video review on six courts for this year’s tournament

Wimbledon, the oldest Grand Slam tennis tournament, will introduce video review technology for the first time this year. This technology will be available on Centre Court, No. 1 Court, and four other show courts. Players can use it to review specific calls made by the chair umpire, like double bounces. This follows the technology’s debut at the 2023 U.S. Open and its use at the Australian Open. Unlike electronic line-calling, which replaced line judges last year, video review allows unlimited player requests. Wimbledon is also adding visual indicators on scoreboards for electronic line-calling to improve clarity. These changes aim to enhance fairness and accuracy in the tournament, which starts on June 29.
