Wimbledon 1972: The Lawn Tennis Championships
BBC outside broadcast cameras bring you the second day's play direct from the All England Club, featuring The First Round of the Ladies' Singles
Evonne Goolagong begins the defence of her title. Her youthful talents could well be matched by Chris Evert, the teenage sensation from the USA, who is making her first appearance here. But with three-time winner Billie-Jean King and a host of other international stars in the field the competition will be as testing as one could-wish for.
Harry Carpenter introduces the best of the Ladies' matches on the Centre Court and No 1 Court and provides all the news and results from the outside courts.

On St Patrick's Day this year The Question of Ulster - The People Talking was broadcast on BBC1. In a London studio a large group of ordinary men and women from that murderously divided country talked, quietly and sincerely, about the problems of daily life - and some hopeful signs for the future.
After the broadcast there were many demands for another programme, to continue the same theme - and to follow up some of the points raised. So tonight, Catholics and Protestants: housewives, schoolchildren, students, teachers, doctors, nurses, businessmen, shopkeepers, trade unionists and employers come together again. Not just the voices of those who live in the beleaguered areas, but also voices not often heard.

Harry Carpenter, direct from the Aston Villa Football Ground, introduces coverage of tonight's important title fight.

Jack Bodell (Swadlincote) Champion of Great Britain and the Commonwealth, v
Danny McAlinden (Coventry) The Challenger

The fantastic local support for these two fighters is the reason for promoter Alex Griffiths staging for the first time in a number of years an open-air title fight on one of the most historic football grounds in the country.

Jack Bodell, the champion, who won the titles from Joe Bugner last year and holds victories over Carl Gizzi, Manuel Ramos and Bill Drover, is used to going the full distance and winning. Bodell, a man well known for coming forward and making the action - who will forget his great fight with Billy Walker? - meets tonight an opponent who also likes to make the running.
Danny McAlinden has a reputation for stopping his men inside the distance.
