4 hours 17 minutes of wonderful commercial- and Enberg-free tennis from the BBC, as Roger Federer goes for his 6th Wimbledon and (record-breaking) 15th Slam title.

In front of former champions Laver, Santana, Borg and Sampras (plus McEnroe commentating for NBC and Becker for the Beeb), Federer and Andy Roddick put on both the closest final and one of the finest that I can remember. As the Beeb's Sue Barker said afterwards, it's sad that someone had to lose.

One fascinating segment during a change-over shows two of Roger's serves superimposed: the service motion and the point of contact with the ball are identical in both cases, but the ball goes to opposite sides of the service box!

The two discs include the warm-up, the entire match, the award ceremony, interviews with both contestants, and footage of Laver, Borg and Sampras congratulating Roger afterwards.

Boris's fellow-commentators are Andrew Castle and Tim Henman. The picture and sound are both crystal clear.

If you are an avid tennis fan and especially a fan of either Andy Roddick or Roger Federer then this is one match you will not want to miss. Even if you saw this match in 2009, it is a classic and you will want to view it often as the years go by.

I am an Andy Roddick fan so as much as I did not like to see him lose, the match was played at such a high level and as usual, Andy tried his hardest and made the match entertaining.

I am very happy to have found this Tennis DVD on Amazon. I ordered it and it was sent promptly and I have been enjoying it a great deal. I can always depend on Amazon to have what I want and to get it to me promptly. Thanks!!!

Great that this came out. It was a good call as well. I hope there will be a release of a DVD with the Johnny Mac call as well. I really missed it.
