London, June 24,
The 70th Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships which begin to- morrow on the famous grass courts of the all-England Lawn Tennis and
Crocquet Club at Wimbledon, and continue until July 7, will be perhaps
the most interesting since the war, particularly in the Men's and Women's Singles the result appears to be more open than of recent years.
As usual, the Championships have attracted the world's best players, but the fact that such players as Tony Trabert, Jack Kramer, Frank Sedgman, Richard Gonzales, Pancho Segura, Maureen Connolly, Doris Hart and Pauline Betz have turned professional makes the results more problematical.
