It's that time of the year again when Wimbledon dominates the 5 Live
schedules and the show I do with Simon Mayo moves to a different slot.
This got me thinking about tennis in the movies and which film uses
the game in the most interesting way?

  • The Match: Federer vs. Nadal, 2008 Wimbledon Final.

  • I remember in the film 'A French Mistress', there is a scene where most of the boys are watching the teacher of the tile play tennis while this one nerdy boy's head is going back and forth watching for her opponent!

  • Strangers on a train???

  • Not a Tennis movie but there was a great tennis sequence in Strangers on a Train. Added a lot of suspense

  • "A tennis pitch"

  • How about the greatest use of a tennis racquet in a fight scene - Steve Martin in Roxanne.

  • Frost Nixon.... two people battling back and forth.

  • My favourite tennis movie is "Tennis, Anyone?" Jason Isaacs plays a narcissistic, venal actor and plays a mean game of tennis as well.

  • @s3snok Yep definitely.

  • @YouFoolWarrenIsDead in what title? Besides, Wimbledon's not really about tennis so much as love and romance and stuff.
