By Paul J. Gough
WASHINGTON -- ESPN said Thursday that it had reached an agreement to televise its portion of Wimbledon through 2013.

Financial terms of the deal weren't announced. Since 2003, ESPN has offered Wimbledon coverage on its networks as well as ESPN Desportes. The rights include about 100 hours on ESPN2, up to one men's semifinal match.

It also includes ESPN360.com and other mobile and digital extensions in the U.S. plus TV rights for ESPN International in Latin and South America and the Caribbean.

During last year's Wimbledon, NBC said that it was renewing its contract through 2011.
