This month ‘Open Court’ gears up for Wimbledon, the third Grand Slam of the season and oldest tennis tournament in the world, speaking to past and current champions.
Correspondent Christina Macfarlane (pictured, right) travels to Dunblane, Scotland, to interview the current Wimbledon men’s singles defending champion, Andy Murray (pictured, left). She visits Murray’s new hotel, the Cromlix House, and hears why he decided to get into the hotel business. There’s also time with Murray’s proud grandparents, Roy and Shirley, who can’t wait to watch their grandson defend his title.
‘Open Court’ host Pat Cash also meets four-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova in Madrid, who speaks candidly about her shoulder problems, coaching change, and why she keeps playing – despite having enough money to last her and her family the rest of their lives. She looks back on her Wimbledon triumph in 2004, and talks about her parent’s influence.
Cash also meets 2001 Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic for a hit and chat in London.

‘Make, Create, Innovate’ airs within Quest Means Business
This edition of ‘Make, Create, Innovate’ reports from Sweden on the invention of a unique technology.
Launched by Swedish start-up DoReMIR Music Research, ‘Scorecloud’ is a series of programmes and apps that will instantly translate music into written score. Songs can be played, sung or hummed into a device, which directly converts them into musical notation, a ‘Google Translate’ for music of sorts. Once recorded, the melody can be played by different instruments and then shared via e-mail or social media, making it a powerful tool for musical collaboration.
‘Make, Create, Innovate’ interviews the inventor of ‘Scorecloud’, Sven Ahlback, who demonstrates his invention, and follows a group of students at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm as they use ScoreCloud to compose and create music.
