Tennis Girls

on BBC One London

The two weeks on the green, green grass of Wimbledon are the peak of a tough tennis circuit which is played in city after city all round the world, week after week. This film goes inside the world of women's tennis - to San
Antonio, Texas, where girls on the breadline slog it out in order to enter the world of the big prize money, to Key Biscayne, Florida, where the location may be exotic but the pressures are still enormous.
Martina Navratilova takes her cats and dogs with her whenever she can to make the circuit more like home. Chris Lloyd is struggling with the temptation to retire and settle down with her husband, John, and start a family.
The glamorous Gabriela
Sabatini is 16 years old and already a tennis millionaire - but how long can she keep up the pace? Annabel Croft ,
Britain's number one, tells how personal life is blighted by the constant travelling.
Steffi Graf breaks down over a line call in a final with Chris Lloyd.
At a unique tennis school in Florida, children from 10 to 18 years old play over six hours tennis a day, even when they are injured. Film camera BARBARA FRANK Film editor david B. THOMSON
