Tennis theme music

Tennis has some good theme music. This is a thread about it.

Question: There is some kind of imperialistic theme music that has been played during either some of the slams, or some commercials advertising (prominently with Federer highlights). I think it is a motif of part of Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique.

USO Theme
Wimbledon Theme (very distorted)
French Open theme
Australian Open

Please link to more, offer corrections, or link to better versions of these.

PS: Not topical, but I love this NFL theme music too.

PPS: Looking around for theme music, I found one of the truly amazingly daft comment on youtube, namely that a player cutting his hair very short or bald will make him more "workmanlike".

Personally I didnt like any of these music themes...I would prefer instead the Vangelis End Titles Theme of the film BLADERUNNER as the best sports presentation theme ever used on TV even if it wasnt written specially for a sport presentation...the other interesting sports music theme is that used in New Zealand for the latest Rugby World Cup whose name is as follows:ORA MATE by KAMATE...that is what I can recall now...if I come across some other themes I will make new postings to this thread...

I found another three music themes I heard in sports presentations and these are as follows:

1-Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence (Heart of Asia) by JAMASTER A
2-Clocks by CLOKX
3-Sandstorm by DARUDE
Everyone of the three you can find them in Youtube.
Best Regards

Strange, I don't really remember that end titles theme from Bladerunner, and I watched it recently, nor do I remember the aerial overview at the end. I remember the drone-woman and the cop leaving together or something to that effect.

I have always known that the main theme of BLADERUNNER ,the one used for the presentations was located as an End Title of the film...Nevertheless I think you know what I am talking about and you have heard the theme many times up to today...Really it is an extraordinary instrumental song and unsurpassed for sports presentations....
 
I was thinking that the tennis associations (ATP and WTA) should organize an Eurovision like festival to choose from some twenty songs,finalists from a very strict selection of composers,the song which is going to represent them in all presentations.Logically this festival will have to be broadcasted worldwide and the voting will be also worldwide including all the tennis fans votes and the members of the associations votes also.
For this purpose they will have to count with the help of the channells whicn normally broadcast the matches...
What do you think about this idea?...
 
The players all need their own theme music. Have them enter WWF style. Entrance music starts and Nadal comes bounding through the fireworks and flexes on his way to the court.
