	Wimbledon
		With Australian PAT CASH, 1987 Wimbledon champ, also serving as tennis consultant on the film, Wimbledon was granted unprecedented access by The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTCC) to film during the 2003 championships, one of the most watched sporting events in the world.
		But before tackling the challenges of on-court filming, Loncraine and Wimbledon's producers proceeded with moving the script forward, ensuring that the world of professional tennis would be rightly served, and filling the roles with actors at home in both worlds presented in the story.
		Wimbledon's 15-week shoot began in July, 2003, and included seven weeks of location filming at Wimbledon (filming primarily on three courts: Centre, two and three, plus a small amount of shooting on courts six, seven and eight).

	Fandango - Movie Reviews
		Wimbledon is set against the excitement of the 2003 Wimbledon Championships, and Darius Khondji's striking cinematography captures the game in a totally original way, but the heat doesn't rub off on the love story.
		Having slipped to the 119th spot from his onetime world ranking of 11th, 30-something Peter is about to retire from professional tennis, having just accepted a position as tennis director at a posh country club.
		Wimbledon is marketed as a sporty minuet, partly in response to Dunst's recent stardom, but it only really shines on the court, beautifully capturing the symmetry and time-stopping suspense of the game.

	WIMBLEDON Movie Review
		Peter Colt is a fading tennis pro, using a wild card entry in the men’s singles to retire from the game of tennis, he has resigned himself to his fate and he often narrates his thoughts and feelings in voiceover, trying to help us understand the psyche of a tennis player.
		There is nothing in ‘Wimbledon’ that is unexpected - you can predict the ending right from the start but that’s not to say there isn’t anything here to stop you from instantly leaving the cinema.
		Bettany and Dunst do actually play their tennis matches so there is a degree of authenticity, with Paul’s final being played on the real centre court.

		At the end of matches on Wimbledon's center court--another foregone conclusion in which a plucky European was steamrollered by some thump-and-grunt merchant from the New World--the players would gather their spare rackets and waddle toward the changing rooms.
		The royal box bow was part of the Wimbledon experience, part of the sepia-tinged memory they could one day relate to their grandchildren, should they ever produce any.
		For the Wimbledon crowd those little bows were a happy reminder that the strutting tennis stars were not quite sovereigns of all they surveyed.

		Pigeons are as much a part of Wimbledon as strawberries and cream but this year they may well be carrying a special message for tennis fans.
		Twenty birds will be spray-painted with the Virtua Tennis 2 logo and trained to fly in and out of the home of British tennis during the 2003 Wimbledon championships which start next week.
		"The Wimbledon tournament is famous for the occasional descent by pigeons on to Centre Court, but our advertising pigeons are trained to go straight for the fans and flap their logos in front of them," he added.

		Timed to hit theaters at the end of the U.S. Open, "Wimbledon," with its scenes of intense competition and faulty refereeing, can't help but call to mind the controversial recent match between real-life pros Jennifer Capriati and Serena Williams.
		Well past his prime and on the verge of retirement, Peter prepares for his final Wimbledon tournament when, in one of the hastier meet-cutes in recent movie memory, he stumbles into the hotel room of Lizzie Bradbury (Dunst), a girl who apparently thinks nothing of showering with the door open.
		Setting is thoroughly persuasive, thanks to carefully timed shoots at the 2003 Wimbledon Championships as well as gorgeous on-location lensing in the streets of London.
