Wimbledon gets underway today for the Bay Area tennis aficionados, and if you stay up late you can start watching the beginning of televised coverage. Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova are all slated to play in Day 1 action in the greatest tennis event in the world.

There is one Bay Area tennis player competing in the event: One Sam Querrey, whose hometown is in San Francisco.

There are two ways to watch Wimbledon online if you don't have ESPN or ESPN2 (the providers for the Olympics this year). One way is through "Watch ESPN". Watch ESPN will allow you to watch online if you are signed up with the proper cable or satellite provider. The other possibility is through Wimbledon.com, which you can see at Live @ Wimbledon. You should be able to watch most of this tournament even if you don't have a TV!
