The tournament joins the American and Australian Opens in employing replay systems.
Video review systems will make its debut at Wimbledon this year.
Players will gain the right to challenge particular decisions from the official, mirroring the practice already in place at each of the US Open and the Aussie major.
The new system will be operational on Centre Court and Court One for the duration of the tournament and on the remaining show courts when they are staging singles matches.
This development arrives only a year after the AELTC rolled out ELC, which brought an end to the longstanding tradition of line officials.
Reviewable Decisions
Competitors cannot to dispute the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can ask for the umpire to review other decisions, including:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a ball touched an rival's racket or body during play.
- Possible hindrance at the conclusion of a rally.
Notably, there is no limit on the number of reviews a competitor can initiate.
A Recent Example
An illustrative example took place in a recent tournament last week, where Daniil Medvedev initiated the video challenge against Jack Draper.
Draper conceded it was a difficult situation for the umpire, but believed his opponent had "used the regulations effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte viewed a replay and ruled Draper was responsible for hindrance, awarding the point to Medvedev.
Broader Adoption
Video reviews are not exclusive to major tournaments. It has been in use at the US Open for two years and the Australian Open this year.
Additionally, it is increasingly prevalent on the women’s WTA Tour, and by next season the men's ATP Tour will have the system in place at every one of its events.
Additional Innovations
Another change at The Championships this year will be the introduction of visual indicators on scoreboards to support the audio calls from the ELC system.
This addresses instances where spectators have sometimes been unsure if a shot was in or out.
In other news, with precisely 100 days to go until the start of the Championships, the AELTC have also revealed an increase in daily attendance at the qualifying competition in Roehampton.
