Among the favourites to take the title this year were GUILLERMO VILAS , winner of the Masters in 1974 RAUL RAMIREZ of Mexico, and ROSCOE TANNER , who came so close to winning the final at Wembley recently.

Television in Black Africa
Imagine a mud hut nestling in a forest of banana and coconut trees -protruding from its roof, a television aerial. It's a bizarre but increasingly common sight in Black Africa today. A continent where some are still starving and many still lack modern amenities like electricity, now has colour TV and uses satellites and even solar power for TV relay. The reason for such apparent incongruities is that Black Africa has come to realise that television is a simple and powerful means of reaching out to millions of its own people.
Worldwide has been to the Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Kenya, Zanzibar and Zaire gathering material to show how this vast continent is using television for nation-building by informing, educating and entertaining its people Vith indigenous and foreign programmes. Tonight, in the first of a three-part series. Richard Kershaw looks at the way governments use television, and priorities for news and information. The programme also includes exclusive film of the total eclipse of the sun which was seen in Zanzibar in October.
