Returning to England's Wimbledon championships for one final try before planning to pack his career in, the public's expectations of Peter are understandably low.
The opening credits, bouncing onto the screen with the sound effect of a tennis ball being hit by a racket, are more energetic that anything that follows, and there is some mild tension built during the finale set at the men's finals despite the outcome being a foregone conclusion.
Otherwise, "Wimbledon" is strictly of the take-it-or-leave-it variety, not romantic or involving or memorable enough to warrant more than an ultra-brief passing glance.
