It feels strange to set up today by harking back to yesterday, but seriously, how good was it to see Andy Murray back roaring, chuntering and fist-pumping? In a way it barely mattered that he won … except he won so it absolutely mattered, a lesson in drive, suffering and love.
Today we’ll see more of the same from Serena Williams, his former doubles partner, and Roger Federer, his always sparring partner, as they seek to establish themselves as the best to ever do it. Serena is one singles major behind Margaret Court while Federer is level with Rafael Nadal and one ahead of Novak Djokovic, both of them running out of time. But both are never more at home than on the grass of Centre Court, and for those of us lucky enough to watch, it’s more about enjoying them that it is about whether they win … unless they win.
