This is the definitive story of The Wimbledon Championships 2006. In the Men's Singles Roger Federer was attempting to join the legendary Bjorn Borg and Pete Sampras as the only men to win four consecutive Wimbledon titles. In the Women's Singles a new name would appear on the Venus Rosewater Dish.
Coming into Wimbledon, the 1992 champion American Andre Agassi had announced that this would be his last Championships. During his third round encounter with the French Open Champion Rafael Nadal from Spain, the crowd willed the clock to rewind and cheered every glimpse of the American¹s lingering brilliance but in the end it was the Spaniard's day.
But a new showman would emerge in Greek-Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis who overthrew Andy Roddick's conqueror, Britain's Andy Murray and the 2002 Champion Lleyton Hewitt before losing to Nadal in a thrilling semi-final.
Narrated by Sam Hazeldine and written by Andrew Longmore of the Sunday Times, Wimbledon 2006 is a highly entertaining record of this year's proceedings at the world's finest tennis championships.
