Wimbledon 79

on BBC Two England

The Prospects, the Players
Each year as the world of tennis focuses on the All England Club, there are new and intriguing questions to be answered. This year is no exception - can Bjorn Borg be the first man since the First World War to win four con secutive titles, or will John McEnroe fulfil what he has been promising all year? Can Martina Navratilova repeat her succcess of last year or will it be Evonne Cawley 's turn to regain the title she first won at the age of 19? And of course let no one discount the newly-married Chris Evert -Lloyd.
To try to answer some of these questions JOHN BARRETT speaks to all the leading contenders and to the virtuoso violinst Isaac Stern. who makes some fascinating observations about the game and the players.
