Stock up on Strawberries and Cream – Wimbledon is Here!

Summer is fantastic for sport isn’t it? We’re all busy enjoying the World Cup, then along comes Wimbledon as well! While we’re having such great weather, why not take the TV outside and make an event of all the sport on TV? This is the first year that all the Wimbledon Centre Court matches will be broadcast in Ultra HD, so if you’ve got a compatible TV, you’re going to have a great picture!

The coverage will be presented by a great team, headed up by Sue Barker. You’ll get to hear from some of the biggest names from the history of tennis such as Tim Henman, Billie Jean King, Boris Becker, Martina Navratilova and John McEnroe (yes we’re being serious). If you miss any of the action, you can catch a round up of the day’s action on BBC2 in the evenings, hosted by Clare Balding.

There’s been one interesting change to the footage we’ll see this year though. Up until now, the cameras were under the control of the BBC and it was the BBC who decided what we would see on our screens at home. The BBC are no longer in charge of the cameras, that has been taken in-house and will now be the responsibility of the All England Club. Will it make a difference? That remains to be seen.
