Tomorrow, Wednesday, July 2, ESPN’s exclusive live Wimbledon coverage will begin at 7 a.m. ET on both ESPN and ESPN2, one hour earlier than originally scheduled – a third day of “Cross Court Coverage” with two networks covering the action.  The change is a result of a decision to start Wednesday’s matches on Centre Court and Court One at noon in London, one hour earlier than the standard for those courts.  The change was precipitated by the rain that postponed  matches on Saturday and Monday.  ESPN3 will begin its presentation of TV courts at 6:30 a.m. as scheduled.

Wednesday’s key matches:  Six Quarterfinals (two women, four men)

Centre Court (ESPN):

  • No. 3 Simona Halep, the top seed remaining, vs. No. 19 Sabine Lisicki, a finalist a year ago
  • Defending champion No. 3 Andy Murray vs. No. 11 Grigor Dimitrov, a highly regarded 23-year old
  • A battle for the bragging rights of Switzerland, No. 5 Stan Wawrinka vs. No. 4 Roger Federer.

Court 1 (ESPN2):

  • No. 13 Genie Bouchard vs No 9 Angelique Kerber, who eliminated Maria Sharapova on Tuesday
  • No. 1 Novak Djokovic vs. No. 26 Marin Cilic,
  • Big-serving Canadian No. 8 Milos Raonic vs. unseeded wild card Nick Krygios who stunned Rafael Nadal in four impressively athletic sets Tuesday.

As I write this on 11-11-21, it's now 35 years for me at ESPN, the only real job I’ve ever had. I joined merely to help with the upcoming America’s Cup in Australia. I was told it would be for three months at all of $5.50 per hour. I like to say I simply kept showing up. I’ve worked on almost every sport, plus answered viewer calls and letters (people used to write!), given tours, written the company newsletter and once drove NASCAR’s Jeff Gordon to the local airport. My travels have been varied…I’ve been to Martinsville, Darlington, Indy and Super Bowls; the America’s Cup (all 3) in San Diego and College GameDay in the sport’s meccas such as Eugene, Auburn, Lubbock, Stillwater and more; the NBA Finals, Wimbledon (16 times and counting) and the “other Bristol,” the one with a race track in Tennessee. These days, my main areas are tennis, UFC, boxing, network-wide ratings (by month/quarter/year), and corporate communications documents, including fact sheets, chronologies, lists and nearly 35 of the Year in Review press releases. UPDATE EXACTLY ONE YEAR LATER: Today, November 11, 2022, I am retiring from ESPN -- 36 years to the day I began. As I ride off into the sunset – top down and E Street Radio blaring – I do so with so many wonderful memories, proud of my contributions and a heart full of gratitude for the opportunity.
