BBC One will be serving up a volley of Wimbledon highlights this summer.

With the annual tennis tournament cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, BBC Sport will instead be looking back at competitions past with more than 50 hours of programming over the court of two weeks.

Sue Barker will host Wimbledon 2020 each weeknight from The All England Lawn Tennis Club, while Clare Balding will present Wimbledon Rewind each week day on BBC Two. Andy Murray’s Greatest Hits will showcase remarkable career highlights, while the top ten men’s and women’s finals will be counted down in Wimbledon: The Greatest Final.

Special documentary One Day will offer a look back at 14th July 2019, which saw one of the most incredible Wimbledon men’s final matches of all time and the England men’s cricket team winning the World Cup for the first time ever.

Throughout Wimbledon fortnight, the BBC Sport website will stream coverage while hosting a series of votes for the public to have their say, including selecting the top ten Wimbledon finals to ever take place. Bespoke video and written content will be available daily alongside a mixture of fun quizzes and features to keep tennis fans entertained.

Director of Sport, Barbara Slater says: “Whilst there will be no live play this year, we’re looking forward to bringing plenty of Wimbledon action to tennis fans this summer. Incredible victories, crushing defeats and expert comment and opinions from our tennis teams will combine for a fortnight of entertainment.”
