LONDON — Wimbledon will use video review technology for the first time at this year’s tournament, the All England Club announced Saturday.
The oldest Grand Slam tennis tournament will have the technology available on Centre Court, No. 1 Court — the club’s second-biggest stadium — plus four other show courts.
Players will be allowed to review specific calls made by the chair umpire — such as double bounces.
Video review made its Grand Slam tennis debut at the 2023 US Open. The Australian Open also uses the technology.
Centre Court and No. 1 Court will have video review available throughout the tournament, which starts on June 29, and the technology will be used on No. 2 Court, No. 3 Court, Court 12 and Court 18 for singles matches.
Players will not be limited in the number of reviews they can request.
Video review is separate from the electronic line-calling used for ruling balls in or out.
Last year, Wimbledon replaced line judges with electronic line-calling, though it wasn’t without hiccups.
