Roar of the Crowd: Game, Set and Cash

on BBC Two England

The series in which famous sports celebrities talk about themselves and their opinions against the backcloth of their own exciting action.

Next week's Wimbledon is 'open,' but the world of open tennis is full of problems. Through Britain's lead, sham-amateurism was banished, the professionals were admitted and the game turned 'honest.' Now, off court, come the problems and threats as amateur associations fight for their rights and professional managers fight for their money.
At Monte Carlo, the world's most beautiful open tennis venue, top players and officials discuss the 'politics' of the game while the game itself goes on
with
George MacCall, manager of the top players
Jack Kramer, promoter, commentator, ex-manager
Pancho Gonzales, the world's most colourful pro
Arthur Ashe, the player the managers want
Fred Stolle, Australia's Wimbledon finalist
Herman David, the man who inspired open tennis
