Wimbledon marks the halfway point of what has already been an exciting 2012 season of tennis. It also marks the first time in history that ESPN is handling TV coverage for the entire event.

Roger Federer (3) vs. Albert Ramos

If Federer wins another Wimbledon, he'll tie Pete Sampras for the most-ever titles with seven.
