the Elbow Beach Hotel courts today during a whirlwind visit to the Island.

Wade, England's number one player in the late 1960s and '70s, triumphed at Wimbledon in 1977 -- the only English player, male or female, to have lifted that title in the last 40 years.

The tennis star turned TV commentator arrived on the Island last night and will be on court for a half-hour clinic with Elbow Beach pro David Lambert at 11.00 this morning, before flying out later today.
