AFTER the curtain has come down at the end of Wimbledon fortnight it is time to reflect on this prestigious event.
In the 1950s Peter Wilson would present a TV series called Today on the Centre Court. It would feature American players Tony Trabert, Victor Seixas and Maureen ‘Little Mo’ Conolly as well as Lew Hoad and Ashley Cooper from Australia.
In the ’70s Jimmy Connors was a star attraction and it was he who said: “Wimbledon means a lot to everybody.
That’s why you see such great tennis.”
Rafael Nadal has our congratulations.
L D Wilson, Guisborough
