The second day play direct from the All England Club featuring The Ladies' Singles
For the second time as champion, Czech-born American Martina Navratilova has the honour to open play on the Centre Court at 2 pm. She will have her sights on a third consecutive title to match the feats of Louise Brough , Maureen Connolly and Billie Jean
King in post-war years. Her strongest contender seems likely to be the outstanding young Californian Tracy Austin , who lost to the champion in last year's semi-final, but later became the youngest US Open Champion in history at 16. There are four former champions in the field: Chris Evert Lloyd , twice a winner, has been the losing finalist to Miss Navratilova for the last two years; Evonne Cawley 's victory was back in 1971; Virginia Wade won three years ago, while Billie Jean King will be looking for her seventh singles success. By contrast another American Andrea Jaeger , just 15, competes for the first time, with a reputation tar I beyond her tender years. I News, results, summaries by HARRY CARPENTER

Who are the wildlife winners - the fastest sprinters, the speediest swimmers, the highest jumpers, the best boxers, the finest gymnasts? This programme presents the superlative physical feats of the animal world, and reveals the ' how ' and the ' why' of their extraordinary prowess. In the human games the fastest and the strongest sportspeople in the world challenge the barriers of physical skill. But even the record breakers among them produce puny performances beside the champions of the animal kingdom.
