This short but interesting film starts with a women's singles match on Wimbledon's Centre Court followed by a fourth round men's singles match. Queen Mary can be glimpsed in the Royal Box. Later, on Court Number 2, we see a First Round Mixed Doubles match in progress before returning to Centre Court and Shields' victory. This is followed by a men's doubles match with unidentified players.
