Wimbledon Live Streaming Available with Livestreamingsport.Com and Partners Submitted By: Livestreamingsport.Com Friday, 21 June 2013 Wimbledon live streaming available with Livestreamingsport.com and partners Submitted by: Livestreamingsport.com Friday, 21 June 2013 Livestreamingsport.com (http://www.Livestreamingsport.com) have announced their officially licensed live streaming partner Paddy Power have secured the rights to stream live coverage from the Wimbledon Championships free (http://www.livestreamingsport.com/category/Live-Streaming-Tennis/Wimbledon-live-streaming-201306210059/) to their members. As the oldest and most prestigious tournament on the tennis calendar and the only Grand Slam to be played on grass, the website is delighted to add the event to the wide range of sports already on their portfolio. Whilst the 'Big Four' of Djokovic, Murray, Federer and Nadal are likely to dominate the headlines from the All England Club, the battle for supremacy amongst the 'Big Three' in the women's singles is just as intriguing. Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka have had a stranglehold on the Grand Slam titles over the past couple of seasons, with each Slam decider since the 2011 French Open featuring at least one of them. And it looks as though it will take a massive effort from the likes of last year's beaten finalist Agnieszka Radwanska and fifth seed Sara Errani to bring that dominance to and end in 2013. After bludgeoning her way to a 16th Grand Slam title at Roland Garros Serena Williams will be bidding for her fourth major in five attempts. That tremendous form sees the American begin the tournament as favourite and given the fact that she has beaten Maria Sharapova in 12 consecutive matches – including the French Open final – her confidence will be sky high as she looks to defend her crown. Action in London gets under way on Monday, June 24 and the tournament runs until Sunday, July 7, as the world's elite tennis players compete for the five major trophies on offer and their share of an extraordinary £22,560,000 in prize money. Livestreamingsport.com boast a team of expert sports journalists with vast experience in the industry and provide readers with tournament previews, predictions and live streaming schedules for all tennis events on the ATP and WTA Tours, including Grand Slams such as Wimbledon and the US Open. The website gives readers a step by step introduction on how they can watch the Wimbledon Championships live for free through their partnership with bet365. Managing Editor for Livestreamingsport.com, Brendan O’Neill, was thrilled to announce the availability of the tournament live online saying: “The Wimbledon Championships are set to capture the public imagination once again this summer and here at Livestreamingsport.com, we're looking forward to seeing if the 'Big Three' in the women's game can continue their Grand Slam dominance. “Serena Williams is hot favourite to defend her crown but the All England Club isn't averse to the odd upset, which is another reason why Paddy Power's live streaming coverage of this fantastic tournament is not to be missed.” Page 1 Distributed via Press Release Wire (https://pressreleases.responsesource.com/) on behalf of Livestreamingsport.com Copyright © 1999-2021 ResponseSource, The Johnson Building, 79 Hatton Garden, London, EC1N 8AW, UK e: [email protected] t: 020 3426 4051 f: 0345 370 7776 w: https://www.responsesource.com.
