Synopsis

The former chief executive of the All England Tennis Club takes us behind the scenes of an establishment where decisions are still made through a committee system dating back to 1868. He reveals the stories behind the 1973 players’ boycott, the McEnroe tantrums, demands for equal prize money and the Olympic bid.
