SEMI-FINALS

Wimbledon, June 30.
While Dick Savitt, the titleholder, was being eliminated from Wimbledon's Men's Singles Tennis Championship by Mervyn Rose of Australia, the 'other 1951 finalist, Ken McGregor, the tall Australian Champion, was being narrowly edged out of the Centre Court by the second seed, Jaroslav Drobný (Egypt).
The game was a stirring five setter

E, Morea (Argentine) and Mrs T. Long (Australia) beat E. Sturgess (South Africa) and Miss S. Fry (U.S.) 0-0, 3-0, 0-4.
The fierce sun turned the arena into an inferno in which these two titans of tennis were locked in a fluctuating tactical battle for two and a quarter hours.
Drobny just out-stendied McGregor to win 6-0, 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 7-5, but it was touch and go to the end.
McGregor's tendency to crucial points double fault on contributed to 11s downfall. Twice in the deelding set it en- abled Drobny to break through to head.

Britain's Chances In The Women's Athletic Events At Helsinki
·Track and field athletics for women were first introduced into the Olympic Games at Amsterdam in 1925, and this after considerable opposition. Five events only were included: the 100 metres, 800 metros, 400 metres relay, high jump and discus.
The 800 metres produced so many sensational (and for the most part wholly inaccurate) reports that this race was promptly excluded from futuro programmes. Great Britain sent no representatives to Amsterdam, and women athletes from this country made their first appearance at Los Angeles In 1982. Five only took part, and we were third in the relay and fifth in in the 100 metres and 80 metres hurdles.
Our team to Berlin in 1936, numbered 11, and we gained a second place in the relay-the Gorman team which had set up a world record in the beats dropped the baton in the final- and in the high jump.

One of the main reasons why America's tennis girls walked off with the Wightman Cup again at Wimbledon is that the British girls do not practise enough-against
men.
Britain's girls were fighting to win the Cup from America for the first time since 1980. They failed. The Americans won all soven games-five singles and two doubles.
