Published: 9 June 2015
Join Eleanor Oldroyd, Mark Pougatch and Dan Walker on Centre Court from midday on Monday 29 June as Wimbledon 2015 gets underway on Radio 5 live and Novak Djokovic begins the defence of his Wimbledon crown.
The trio will introduce the next 13 days of action-packed tennis on Radio 5 live with daily coverage from 12:00. Listeners will be able to tune in to live commentary, debate and in-depth analysis allowing them to stay right in the heart of the action.
The build-up to the day’s tennis gets underway long before the players leave the locker room, as George Riley presents 5 live Breakfast from Centre Court. The show will consider reaction from the previous day’s play, all the latest news plus special guests.
2015 sees the return of the very popular 6-love-6 programme with former Wimbledon champion John McEnroe, pictured. He’ll be joined by special guests from the world of tennis and take calls from listeners, giving his unique account on the topical issues of the day.
The Radio 5 live website will be home to all the action as 5 live In Short hosts the best clips from SW19 and brings live coverage of 6-love-6 with John McEnroe. There are all the latest interviews and must-see videos across The Championships at bbc.co.uk/5live
On Tuesday 16 June, a Radio 5 live Sport special, Becker: 17 Again, (20:30) will relive the day an unseeded 17 year-old was crowned Wimbledon champion.
Listeners worldwide can catch up with events at Wimbledon every night with Today At Wimbledon, presented by Paddy O’Connell on BBC World Service, which will also carry full commentary of both the Gentlemen’s and Ladies' singles finals. And John Watson will lead the coverage on BBC World News.
