“We may have sacrificed some of the visual eye candy, but our site is not about that – it’s about providing the rich and accurate stats. Our fans want to see stats rather than fancy transitions. We don’t need the power of Flash. We are quite OK using the power of HTML5,” Burns said.

Scoring might be stripped down but video is on the rise and this year’s tournament will see live match play broadcast online for the first time from Wimbledon.com – a move OK’d by the Lawn Tennis Association.

Video will be encoded using H.264 and played using the Daily Motion player. There won’t be geographic restrictions on the live feeds, meaning it can be viewed anywhere.

It's way too cold & wet in England at the moment for Wimbledon anyway. Unless you're a Womble, I reckon.
