Wimbledon 80

on BBC One London

The Lawn Tennis Championships direct from the All England Club
The opening day of the world's greatest tennis tournament features the First Round of the Men's Singles Championship.
Who can stop Sweden's BJORN BORG making it five Wimbledon Singles' titles in a row? All the great names will try-including JIMMY CONNORS , JOHN MCENROE , VITAS GERULAITIS and ROSCOE TANNER , who gave Borg such a marvellous contest in last year's final. And keep an eye on three young players Borg himself has tipped for future honours: IVAN LENDL (Czechoslovakia), JOHAN KRlEK
(S Africa), YANNICK NOAH (France); while JOHN SADRI (USA), with serves of over 130 mph, could topple the best on his day.
Commentators DAN MASKELL , PETER WEST JOHN BARRETT, MARK COX, NEALE FRASER and BILL THRELFALL.
Harry Carpenter keeps you up-to-date with news and results from all Wimbledon's 18 match courts.
