It was well after midnight. For most Londoners the Saturday night out had ended, or was ending, as they made their way home. But at the great indoor sports arena at Wembley thousands still sat, enjoying a game of tennis.

The last buses and trains had gone, many faced a long walk home, but still they sat. For this was no ordinary game of tennis. It was the fiercest, fastest match of the year, the final of the London Professional Tournament between "Pancho" Gonzales and Frank Sedgman.
