Wimbledon, 2018 Official Film

S1 E1: The milestones came as a pair, a century apart: the 150th anniversary of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, and 50 years since The Championships 1968 became the first to be staged in the Open era. Wimbledon, as surely as the mercury rose in the wonderful summer of 2018, soared to the occasions; invigorated by these celebrations, made even more memorable by a fortnight of the highest drama on court, and yet as reassuringly familiar as always. Narrated by Michelle Dockery, this is the story of the action at its most compelling – and its most exhausting – with a soothing thread running throughout, a portrait of life and work behind the scenes at a tennis club like no other. To soothe, to set the pulse racing, to be unflappable and yet make moments of history… nobody does it quite like Wimbledon and nowhere did those contrasts complement each other better than at The Championships 2018.
