Exclusive live Wimbledon coverage continues with third-round action Friday, with all 10 hours on ESPN at 7 a.m. ET.  Fans can also choose from nine courts offered on ESPN3.  Action will include defending champion Andy Murray (vs. No. 27 seed Roberto Bautista Agut), 2012 winner Novak Djokovic (vs. Gilles Simon of France), plus a match-up of former champions, five-time winner Venus Williams vs. 2011 champ Petra Kvitova, all on Centre Court, as well as two-time Major winner Li Na, the No. 2 seed (against Barbora Zahlavova Strycova of the Czech Republic).

On Saturday, June 28, Breakfast at Wimbledon returns, a one-hour preview of the day on ESPN hosted by Hannah Storm at 7 a.m.  The eight-hour telecast on ESPN begins at 8 a.m., and will include matches with Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, each of whom has won the career Grand Slam.

Breakfast at Wimbledon will also precede the action for the Semifinals and Championships, Thursday, July 3 – Sunday, July 6.  All play on those days is on ESPN.

Looking Ahead

  • On the “middle Sunday,” June 29 – a scheduled day off as is Wimbledon tradition – ABC will broadcast a three-hour review of the first week at 3 p.m.
  •  “Cross Court Coverage” returns the first three days of the second week, with ESPN2 focused on Centre Court all day while fans will enjoy a “grounds pass” with matches from Court One and elsewhere on ESPN (transitioning to ESPNEWS at 11:30 a.m. on Monday, June 30, and Tuesday, July 1).

The schedule through Monday (considered “the greatest day in tennis” as all 32 players play in the Round of 16):

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.
