For the first time since 1972, the two top-seeded men and the two top-seeded women in the game survived to do battle on Centre Court for the singles titles. On successive days, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova and Bjorn Borg and Jimmy Connors -great young tennis stars in fine form -treated Wimbledon to rousing games of king and queen of the mountain.

Seriously, the Wimbledon finals will be on Channel 4, starting Saturday at 12:30 and going on until the cows come home...

There is little attempt at dialogue or acting of any sort, except for a few perfunctory hand gestures. The show uses no sets, props or costumes...
