NBC Sports Wimbledon Theme 2001

[nick199009]

fucking americans, I cant find the original real british theme tune

[bduddy55555]

@nick199009 Are you incapable of adding "BBC" to your search? This one is better anyway...

[MrVHWolf]

Who is the girl at 0:34 with rings in her hair?

She looks too young and small to play pro. She's cute too :-p

[MrVHWolf]

@MrVHWolf

Find out myself it's Jelena Dokic.

Nice.....

sigh now espn2 will show wimbledon instead of espn2 and nbc. i will miss the theme

[stewunit]

It's "World Champion" by Keith Mansfield. I hope it goes to ESPN once they take over Wimbledon coverage next year... but I strongly doubt it. It will be missed. There's another video of the full version if you search World Champion Keith Mansfield.

@stewunit Why does ESPN and Disney have to ruin everything? :(

[hoppewc]

@stewunit Thanks! I downloaded it on iTunes!

[hoppewc]

Does this song have a name?

[sebriani]

Waking up as a kid on those summer mornings and turning on the t.v. with this song playing brings back great memories



[MickieJTNA]

Is there anything more epic than this theme??? I think not! Incredible.

[iumontuen]

this is CLASSIC!!!! I remember the days of waking up early Sunday morning to watch Sampras and Agassi battle it out on Center Court... ahhhhhh!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!

[digital2500]

What happened to the one with more of the horns. This is a different theme than I remember!

[lt7768]

@digital2500 this is the closing i was looking for that one too.

[tonchibear]

Brings back memories as a kid of Sunday mornings in the summer watching Sampras kick someone's ass for another trophy.

[cindyandron]

This is classic and frankly it is just not a Wimbledon final unless this song closes it out!!!

[jaspermatty]

brings back great memories--great song!

[RJSchex]

The coda to this theme (minus three notes) was also used as the closing logo for CBS Sports from 1979-81.

[petalio5]

this is the true feeling of victory...

[NhlUnitedWeWin1]

agassi & sampras...never again. :(

[chadvanbrunt]

tennis is garbage now. i remember my family watching wimbledon with lendel edberg becker mcenroe connors cash to bad

[Hail2TheVictorsBaby]

@chadvanbrunt

lmao @ tennis is garbage now.

I'm still convinced that, on the men's side, that Wimbledon 2001 was the greatest Slam event ever. Roddick debuts and takes out a solid player in Thomas Johansson (who won the Aussie Open the following year), Barry Cowan almost upsets Sampras, Roger Federer announcing his arrival in beating Sampras, Henman barely beating Todd Martin, Greg Rusedski in the running, a second consecutive Agassi-Rafter classic semifinal, Ivanisevic taking down Henman... and oh yeah, the Monday final. Best major ever.

[TheTjTube]

@bigandtallreturn Agreed! Excellent Slam!

[miggy25]

this was a great Wimbledon, although heartbreaking for me as an Agassi fan having to watch him lose that gut-wrenching semifinal to Rafter

[newmark401]

It rained all day on the second Sunday that year (2001), so the men's final between Ivanisevic and Rafter was played on a Monday.

[gino454]

best part of wimbledon...when they show highlights of the match and this is playing ti gives me the goosebumps..it's an old song, but classy...just like "one shining moment" in the final four basketball

[gargarensi]

They still play this too. What's more fitting after a men's final (Federer, Nadal) than this theme to accompany it?

[raiders1967]

Thanks for posting. Among sports theme songs, this is one of the best.

[MarcosABZ]

Can any1 tell me where I can get the wimbledon thene music "purple & green. It used to be used during the BBC programmes.

[OWfan]

Who is that after Rusedski?

[MarcosABZ]

Barry Cowan

[OWfan]

Thanks!
