This music should still be played for Wimbledon regardless of what network is showing the coverage.

I think everyone who grew up in the 80s, 90s, and early 00s has fond memories of this tune. It brings me back to lazy summer mornings as a teenager, watching Wimbledon on NBC. Andre, Pete, Steffi, Boris, Goran, Monica, etc. Those days cemented my love of Tennis till this day. Its very sad now that most Grand Slams are no longer on network TV.

It is that time of year again. Wimbledon 2024 is here. It's not the same with Agassi,Sampras and,of course,the Williams sisters(Serena and Venus) being there,but the memories they made there will always be there.

ESPN has great coverage, but always fall short selling the moment as an event in the intro and during the credits. They just show the game and then throw it to Sportscenter for more coverage and analysis. There’s no emotional drive anymore. No weight of history. It’s become antiseptic. This is why I prefer NBCSN.

This actually was the them NBC used for many years before and after the '90s, I believe all the way to 2011 when Wimbledon coverage on NBC ended and fully moved to ESPN. I believe this was first used in the late 1970's.

I can’t get enough of this great music, I’m pushing for NBC to use this theme again (in any capacity, doesn’t have to be sports, I’ll even accept daytime) Wait, Westminster Dog Show, this theme as an opening and bumper, and the old World Champions piece by Keith Mansfield of KPM Music as their closing. There you go.

I actually liked NBC's coverage even though they sometimes showed matches live only in the Eastern Time Zone. I live in Chicago so there would be a one hour delay. Still NBC had the best coverage. I always looked forward to waking up at 8AM on a Saturday to see Serena Williams win it all. Oh and bring this theme back for the Olympics in Rio in 2016.

Unfortunately, no. I remember a few years ago, (2011 maybe), there was a looping demo/advertisement on TV's in Walmarts electronics section for "NBC's Summer of Sports" which played this tune, in its entirety. All it would have taken was a quick stop by one of the sets with a digital audio recorder with stereo RCA in and I would have had it in all its glory. For some reason I never attempted though and before long it was gone...
