By tradition the Stella Artois final provides a last vital clue about the likely outcome of Wimbledon, now only two weeks away. Will John McEnroe (left) win a fourth consecutive title today on the famous Queen's Club centre court, where he first made his reputation as a fledgeling pro in 1978, and where giants of the past like Laver and Newcombe, Trabert and Hoad, then Kramer and Rosewall once paraded their skills? Or will late entry Jimmy Connors reach the final and repeat his Wembley win of last November against the World's No 1? Perhaps neither will survive, as the eager newcomers fight for recognition among men like 6 foot 6 inch Chip Hooper, from Washington DC, or maybe the left-handed French wizard, Henri Leconte.
