Wimbledon 81

on BBC One London

The Lawn Tennis Championships
The second day's play direct from the All England Club featuring
The Ladies' Singles
With last year's champion Evonne Cawley not defending her title, two former champions are among the favourites to succeed her. The ever-popular CHRIS LLOYD , winner in 1974 and 1976 and defeated finalist for the last three years, has been back to her best form in recent months - while MARTINA NAVRATILOVA , who beat Mrs Lloyd in both 1978 and 1979, seeks her third Wimbledon singles crown.
Heading the new generation will be the newly crowned French Open Champion, the Czech HANA MANDLIKOVA and three American teenagers:
TRACY AUSTIN was the youngest ever US Open champion at 16 in 1979, but she has yet to reach the Wimbledon Final, while the 16-year-old prodigy ANDREA JAEGER , conqueror of Virginia Wade last year, may have to share the teenage limelight with the even younger KATHY RINALDI , who at 14 made a spectacular debut at the French Championships earlier this" month.
