Introduced by Harry Carpenter direct from Wimbledon

Wimbledon 1971
Today's outstanding matches brought to you as they happen from the Centre Court and No 1 Court of the All England Lawn Tennis Club at the half-way stage of the Championships.
"Wimbledon remains the most treasured title in the game. It is the oldest of all the international championships - the most reported, the most televised. The word "unique" is used about Wimbledon almost like a first name".
(Arthur Hopcraft on "sweat, tears and strawberries": p55)
(Match of the Day: BBC2 at 10.40 pm)

at 2.55* Irish Sweeps Derby
from The Curragh
Europe's top three-year-olds clash in the tenth running of Ireland's richest race, worth over £50,000 to the winner. There will be a strong contingent of Epsom Derby runners. These include Linden Tree, attempting to be the first blinkered winner of the Irish Sweeps; Irish Ball; and Lombardo, partnered by Lester Piggott (despite his threat never to ride in Ireland again after the Irish 2,000 Guineas) - who came second, third, and fourth respectively at Epsom.
