Ahhh...slow jam the tennis highlights. The late night recap might be part of the network's contract for the event. And I don't know when the last NBC Sports/Wimbledon contract was signed - it could have been well before NBC's prime time slide. While I agree that those who are devoted to tennis can now find results and highlights online, NBC doesn't want to break the habits of those who have been coming to NBC late night all these years and there's still the chance, however slim, that tennis fans can discover Conan or Conan fans can discover tennis.
