 Wimbledon (2004)
In Wimbledon, we're treated to two such montages of the attractive and likable stars Kirsten Dunst and Paul Bettany frolicking to the accompaniment of sappy power ballads.
It's a testament to their charm that Wimbledon is still relatively engaging, despite the genuine shortage of laughs in the thinly developed and utterly predictable screenplay.
In fact, the scenes that work best in Wimbledon are the tennis matches, where Peter carries on a witty interior monologue to bolster his confidence against younger opponents, like cocky American Jake Hammond (Austin Nichols).

 Todd Woodbridge: Simply the best - Athens Olympics 2004 - ABC Sport.
The most successful Australian tennis star of recent times, it is Woodbridge's fate that his achievements have all come in the doubles arena rather than the more high-profile singles events.
The most-capped Davis Cup player in Australian history, Woodbridge's career hit a new high in June when he set a Wimbledon record by winning the doubles title for an unprecedented ninth time.
From farce to tragedy, the Olympics are sporting theatre, and Athens 2004 offered the perfect stage for a huge variety of plots and leading characters.

 TheMovieBoy Review - Wimbledon (2004)
While director Richard Loncraine captures the championships at Wimbledon and the experiences of pro players with a certain accuracy, he unwisely chooses to concentrate on a shaggy love story that offers few romantic sparks.
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.
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.

 2004 Wimbledon News
During one of the many rain delays which inconvenienced day one of the 2004 Wimbledon Championships, Goran Ivanisevic stole a glance at the honour board of past winners.
Roger Federer's name is there too, and deservedly so after his remarkable win last year, when he was so far and away the best player in the Championships that it appeared to be as much a matter of destiny as Ivanisevic's win.
He walked on court for his first match of 2004 and played as if he had never been away to beat Briton Alex Bogdanovic 6-3, 6-3, 6-0.

The All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club (AELTC) have announced a Wimbledon Championships 2004 prize fund total of £9,707,280.
So based on these figures, in 2004, the male winner will receive a rise of 4.782% year-on-year while the winning female will receive a rise of 4.766% - less than the men.
Given that there is already a significant difference in allocation of funds for male and female competitors, the winning male will receive (in terms of real money) £2000 more than the winning female last year.
