If you’re a tennis fan, then you know that ESPN2’s Wimbledon schedule has to air around NBC’s tape delayed shenanigans this week. ESPN2 begins its coverage at 7 a.m. through Friday, then stop at 10 a.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, then resumes at 1 p.m. and then on Thursday and Friday, ESPN2 will be on at 7 a.m., but may not get to air live tennis depending on which women’s and men’s semifinal NBC chooses to air. So the semifinals may be all-delayed on Thursday and Friday which angers fans to no end.
To help temper the anger, ESPN2 will continue to air Dick Enberg’s Wimbledon Reflections as he ends his 28th and final Fortnight at SW19 in London. These will air throughout the Wimbledon coverage.
Here’s the schedule.
Wimbledon Continues on ESPN2 HD, ESPN3.com & ESPN 3D; “Enberg’s Reflections” of 28 Fortnights
The action continues for a second week at The Championships, Wimbledon, with matches on ESPN2 and ESPN3.com, capped by a Ladies’ semifinal and a Gentlemen’s semifinal Thursday, June 30, and Friday, July 1, respectively. The finals will be available on ESPN3.com as of late Sunday, July 3, at midnight and ESPN 3D will show its first tennis starting Friday, July 1, with replays of the Gentlemen’s semifinals; on Monday, July 4, the network will show both finals.
Legendary sportscaster Dick Enberg is working his 28th and final Wimbledon, and his fondest memories of 28 fortnights are recounted in daily “Enberg’s Reflections” vignettes.

And we have three of Dick Enberg’s Wimbledon Reflections for you.
Very nicely done. And Dick’s a good writer to boot so these are produced very well.
