The Lawn Tennis Championships
The second day's play direct from the All England Club
The First Round of the Ladies' Singles
The richest Wimbledon in history offers over E100,000 in prize money, and the Ladies' Champion will collect £7,000 -a far cry from the £750 reward for winning the first ' Open ' in 1968. Is BILLIE JEAN KING Still the girl they all have to beat, and can she collect her sixth title? The answers will be provided during the next two weeks of this fascinating championship.
