All of the top international tennis stars are in attendance at this the world's greatest Open championship.
The action starts at 2 o'clock on the famous Centre Court in Wimbledon 1975
JIMMY CONNORS begins the defence of his title in a championship full of intriguing and exciting possibilities. Former champions STAN SMITH and JAN KODES make no secret of their determination to win yet again. Ille Nastase, the brilliant Romanian who came so close to victory in the memorable 1972 Final, certainly has the talent to win, and if sentiment counts for anything at all, KEN ROSEWALL will once more summon all his reserves of energy and skill in search of the one major title that has eluded him. Many experts tip GUILLERMO VILAS to confirm his sensational form when he won the Masters Final in Australia, and what about BJORN BORG or ARTHUR ASHE or ... or? The winner will certainly deserve his £10,000 prize money.

Is Britain living through a crisis of capitalism, or, as Sir Keith Joseph believes, a crisis of socialism? A year ago today Sir Keith, the man charged by Tory Party leader, Margaret Thatcher, with rethinking Conservative policies, launched what he describes as a 'Campaign for Capitalism.'
In his Campaign, Sir Keith has made an unprecedented attack on past Conservative governments for failing to challenge and reverse 'the foolish myths of postwar socialism that have eroded our liberties, frustrated endeavour, divided our people and destroyed the self-confidence of a once great nation.'
Is Sir Keith the man to bring the Tories in from the cold or is he, as some leading figures in his own party believe, an ivory tower intellectual who is out of touch with the harsh realities of Britain in 1975? David Dimbleby talks to Rt Hon Sir Keith Joseph, MP and examines his ideas.
