A mighly choor from the crowded Centre Court greeted Wilson's 7-5, 6-8° 6-3 second round win over the experienced Armando Vleira, Brazil's No. 1 player. The home crowd, for long resigned to the eclipse of British players, roared their approval of Wilson's finest performance of his career.

Ip And Tsai Lose Second Round Singles Matches
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
The hours between four and six this afternoon spelt disaster for Hongkong's Wimbledon hopes — in the mêy's singles at any rate. During that time both her represen- Intives were dealt knockout blowa.
On Court No. 6, K. H. Ip, outgeneralled by Belgian Davis Cup player Philippe Washer, was defeated 9-7, 6-2, 5-7, 6-1. On No. 1 Court, Edwin Taal outsmashed by another Davis Cup player, burly Australian Rex Hartwig, went down 6-1, 7-5, 6-3.
