Hey all SW19 asked me to put some of the links i've used for getting tennis DVD's here -
http://www.users.bigpond.com/tennisvideos1/This lot are decent though a bit expensive & take about 4 weeks to deliver. One good thing is that if the match you want doesn't fill the disk they will put another match on if you want.
http://www.classictennismatches.net/index.htmlCheaper & faster than the above - good quality but with less of a range.
http://www.tennis-videos.co.uk/05to06.htmI haven't actually used this one but they have a huge range.
Here's another one I've used and had excellent service from:
http://www.thetennisnexus.com(Have bought Sampras v. Corretja and Fed v. Sampras from him, both were excellent quality)

The above mentioned guy is very good.I ordered matches from him and was really impressed with him,his service and quality.Also if you buy 5 you get 1 free.I have now ordered 5 and will be getting Sampras Vs Agassi Australian 2000 semi final.
I cant wait!
On 31 October last year, Amazon released a few dvd's of classic Wimbledon matches.
These dvd's are available only on the USA version of Amazon (and are therefore region 1 only), but if you have a multiregion dved player then it is excellent value, especially with the current exchange rate, if buying with pounds sterling. :) Even with postage and package, the dvd's work out at about £10 each, and less per dvd of course if you buy more than one. They are all official Wimbledon releases I think.
Oh why oh why don't they release more of these, and why are they not available on Amazon .co.uk? Beggars belief etc etc!!

http://www.amazon.com/Wimbledon-2000-Semi-...8772133-6384842 Unless Im mistaken the 2nd one GS2 put is run by our very own Laurie who posts on this board B)
I use the first one mainly as they have such a wide range, although are quite expensive, but it's such a shame that no sites seem to be able to offer matches from the 60's as I would love to be able to see matches between Billie Jean and Margaret court or Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall :(

Thanks for the plug SerenaW19.
I'm adding more mens matches all the time from the past and present. One thing I would say is that I made a conscious decision not to have matches that I would deem less than 7/10 picture quality. I prefer to offer matches where the picture and sound are fantastic - I also like to have matches in stereo if I can as well because it's fun to watch on a home cinema system.
Hurrah! Just seen you have Fed vs. Roddick AO semi final this year-my husband has been itching to get hold of a copy!
Not DVD sites as such but connected....
This ebay seller has a lot of matches to offer ...
