I think their expulsion was just and right and I predict they'll be kicked out of the I.L.T.F. pretty soon unless they change." SEQ. 6: GOOLAGONG: "I've been in England most of the time. I'll be going over to Europe after Wimbledon is over. REPORTER: "And your big ambition is to be able to play on the centre court?" GOOLAGONG: "Yes, I'm looking forward to it, it'll be quite good, if I get onto the centre court that is". SEQ. 8: REAY: "It's going to be as good as ever. It couldn't possibly be anything else and we're accepting every player who's good enough from any country in the world, regardless of race, colour or creed. South African, American, Australian -- the whole lot". Initials SAW/AS/MH SPORT: TENNIS Script is copyright Reuters Limited. All rights reserved
