Back in the days when TG4 had the Irish rights, it broadcast a nightly highlights show in English that used that theme. I hadn’t realised it had been dumped, though since the demise of eir Sport the BBC is now the only live broadcaster of Wimbledon in Ireland.
The title of this copy of the theme ("Purple and Green" by Tony Cox) says it was used in 1996-2015. Another seperate intro was used in 2015 before the 2016 version brought Purple and Green back going by the existance of this other YouTube video dated 201 (2016 also used used in 2017 from what I can see).
