大象传媒 Radio Five Live, the home of live news and sport, gives listeners an all round guide to Wimbledon fortnight.


Throughout the tournament Five Live will bring a mix of live commentary, analysis, reports, interviews and features.

Simon will maintain the feel of his weekday show with big name guests, phone-ins and news in between the live commentary whilst Clare will use her sporting expertise to bring listeners the most comprehensive coverage.


Together they will bring the unique atmosphere of Wimbledon live to the audience.

Five Live's digital sister station Five Live Sports Extra will have extended coverage of the Championships. The station will carry live additional commentary of matches daily right through to the semi-finals, giving fans a choice of matches to listen to.


Listeners can access the station through DAB digital radio, digital television and the Five Live website at , which will also carry scores, news and profiles.

They will be joined by summarisers and analysts Annabel Croft, Christine Janes, Sam Smith, Frew MacMillan, Mark Petchey, Wendy Turnbull, Debbie Jevans and newcomer Danny Sapsford, a former Great Britain Davis Cup player.

Simon and Clare will anchor the coverage live from SW19 from 12.30pm every day until 7.00pm, from the time the very first ball is struck to the prize giving on the final Sunday.


Five Live Sports Extra coverage will start at 12.55pm and continue through to the end of play.


Live match commentary will come from Centre Court, Courts 1, 2, 3, 13 and 18, with reports from all the other courts.
