Radio Times: Review by:; Alison Graham

Even people who despise sport, who come out in itchy bumps at the very thought of football and cricket, have a bit of a soft spot for Wimbledon. It’s more like a civilised social occasion that lasts two weeks. And it appeals to our love of the plucky underdog, the poor blameless souls burdened with the yoke of “Great British Hope.” Andy Murray and more recently the charming Heather Watson know all about that.

But it’s nearly over as we reach the women’s singles final. RT doesn’t have psychic powers so we don’t know if Petra Kvitova will be defending their titles. But whoever strides out onto Centre Court, they should be boosted by the gladiatorial sense of occasion.
