Editorial Reviews

Roger Federer and Venus Williams were the victors in the 119th championship, with prizes of over a million dollars each. Federer won the Men’s Singles for the third year running and Williams triumphed despite her 14th seed ranking. Federer's stunning victory over Andy Roddick was the highlight of the culminating day. The world No.1 has now won 36 consecutive matches on grass, only five fewer than Bjorn Borg, and has also now won the last 21 finals in which he has played. Williams faced match point in the third set against Lindsay Davenport and several times stood just a couple of points from defeat, only to come back to win 4-6, 7-6 (7-4) 9-7. Stephen Huss and Wesley Moodie won the Men’s Doubles in their second tournament playing together, while Cara Black and Liezel Huber from Zimbabwe/South Africa took the Ladies’ Doubles. Martina Navratilova was disappointed in her bid to exceed Billie Jean King’s record of twenty Wimbledon titles, defeated in both the Ladies’ semi-finals and the Mixed quarter-finals.

This review is from: The Wimbledon Collection - The 2005 Official Film (DVD)

Total ripoff. Less than an hour including extras, more shots of crowd members than players, and Greta Scacchi's boring voice-over doesn't help a whit. A truly pointless dvd with very little tennis. Summing up hundreds of matches in about 30 minutes of footage? You do the math.
Might be worth buying only if you were there and hope to see yourself in the many audience shots. Otherwise, with barely any tennis on the disc, what's the point? Pure fluff.
Go instead to the infinitely better Classic Matches at Wimbledon series; the Borg/Mac 1980 dvd has more quality in five minutes than this does in 55.
Passola.

totally disappointed. just a few clips, and they weren't even LONG clips.

I expected full games and left let down.

Wimbledon is GREAT, this DVD is not. If you're a tennis fan or player... look elsewhere for footage

I love this product because it gives me what I need to know quickly and clips of good matches. They give an overview of the first week for both the men and the women and you really get deep into the one on one action in the second week. If your expecting to see full matches or games sorry this is an official film of the event not a match by match commentary. Which is why only 4 stars.
