The 2009 Wimbledon TV schedule begins today. For two weeks, the 2009 Wimbledon schedule will be watched closely by fans, as Wimbledon reclaims its birthright as the big tennis major of the year. The 2009 Wimbledon TV schedule has two networks delivering the action, as ESPN 2 handles the bulk of the 2009 Wimbledon TV schedule at first. But as always, NBC will get the end of Wimbledon, and show fans who will add their name to the famed tournament's lore as champions.
Since Wimbledon is in England, the 2009 Wimbledon TV schedule will have most of the matches in the early morning and afternoon, by American time. ESPN 2 will be the exclusive home for Wimbledon in the first week, with the schedule from Monday to Friday airing from 7 a.m. EST to 5 p.m. EST.
After the first five days, NBC will get their first crack at the 2009 Wimbledon TV schedule during the weekend, airing matches during the afternoon of the 27'th and 28'th. Then ESPN 2 and NBC split the action in the second week.
But by the final weekend, NBC will be the exclusive home of the 2009 Wimbledon finals. The Fourth of July and July 5'th will be home to the famed "Breakfast at Wimbledon" as the women and men's finals air on those mornings.
Of course, the big question is who will be playing at the end of the 2009 Wimbledon TV schedule, and who will win. The big buzz on the men's side is that Rafael Nadal is already gone, and that Roger Federer is heavily favored to take back his crown.
If Federer does win his sixth Wimbledon, he will finally break the all-time majors record held by Pete Sampras - though he will have then won his last two without confronting Nadal.
Federer already got through quickly in his first match today, defeating Yen-Hsun Lu, 7-5, 6-3 and 6-2 at Centre Court.
For the women's side, Serena Williams looks to bounce back after being beaten at the French Open, and has a chance to face Venus in the finals. Dinara Safina is the top seed, even after losing the French Open final, while French champ Svetlana Kuznetsova is fifth.

There's only one legitimate place I've found to watch it live, the rest seem like scams :-/ You can see it over here though: http://unlocksports.com/watch28015.html
They make you do a little survey but after that it's good to go :)
