    I’ve just met Tani, Martine and Wang Liu Ming who, if you haven’t already clocked, are HUGE Roger Federer fans. Tani and Martine are here from Belgium, while Wang Liu Ming has come all the way from China.

    Tani and Martine plan to watch every Federer match for as long as he’s in! Every day he isn’t playing, they’re in the queue for the next day.

    “We love his style, his elegance and graciousness, and he’s a lot of fun for the fans,” they say.

    Right, with Nick Kyrgios and Rafael Nadal facing off for the first time since their war of words in Acapulco earlier this year, we want to know your favourite grudge matches.

    Let us know using #bbctennis or via text on 81111 (UK only).

    Rafael Nadal versus Nick Kyrgios is bound to be entertaining later, either through some wonderful tennis or on-court mischief.

    Nadal accused Kyrgios of "lacking respect" after the 24-year-old beat him in Acapulco earlier this year, with Kyrgios describing the 18-time Grand Slam champion as "super salty" in a recent podcast.

    Asked about the attention surrounding their relationship, Nadal said: "Being honest, I'm too old for all this stuff. What I said, I said. That's all. I'm not a guy who will be in a fight with anybody."

    Asked whether he had a "good relationship" with Nadal, Kyrgios added: "Uhm, not sure that me and Rafa could go down to the Dog & Fox [a pub in Wimbledon Village] and have a beer together."

    Libby Dawes, a regular at the Dog & Fox, assesses their rivalry here.

    Right, I need help settling a personal score here... my other half reckons the ball boys and girls at Wimbledon this year have little strawberries and cream logos embroidered on their trainers, though I'm yet to find any evidence of this.

    She is probably right (as always...) but if anyone can dig out a pic, then tweet it to #bbctennis and I'll concede defeat.

  11. Murraynators on tourpublished at 10:28 BST 4 July 2019

    Meet the Murraynators.

    They are a group of friends from all over Scotland who met watching the Davis Cup in 2015 and have travelled around together watching tennis ever since.

    Because no-one knows which court Andy Murray will be playing on today, they have decided to queue up to buy ground passes and hope to bump into him at the practice courts.

    Can Andy win Wimbledon this year?

    "He's got a really good chance, I'd love to see him go far," says Joan Macgillivray from Inverness (second from left in picture).

    Have a great day, ladies, and thank you for the piece of your Scottish tablet, which was delicious!

    Of course, Andy isn't the only Murray in action at SW19 today. Big brother Jamie also starts his campaign in the men's doubles, alongside new partner and fellow Brit Neal Skupski.

    Murray and Skupski will make their Grand Slam debut as a partnership on Court 18 later on.

    In his maiden BBC Sport column, Murray discusses finding a new partner, his favourite show on Netflix and, of course, his little bro.

  15. BREAKING - Tomic fined £45,000published at 10:12 BST 4 July 2019

    Well, there's drama from the off on day four... Wimbledon officials have just released a statement saying Bernard Tomic will be fined his entire first round prize money of £45,000 for his perceived lack of effort in a defeat by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga that lasted just 58 minutes.

    Statement from Wimbledon: "The Grand Slam Rule Book regarding First Round Performance states the following: 'All players are expected to perform to a professional standard in every Grand Slam match. With respect to First Round Performance, if in the opinion of the referee the player did not perform to the required professional standard, the referee may determine that the player be subject to a fine of up to first round prize money.'

    "It is the opinion of the referee that the performance of Bernard Tomic in his first round match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga did not meet the required professional standards, and therefore he has been fined the maximum amount of £45,000 which will be deducted from prize money."

    Tomic does have the right to appeal against his fine.

  16. When will we see Murray?published at 10:10 BST 4 July 2019

    Not before 17:30 BST, is the answer to that one.

    Andy Murray and Serena Williams confirmed their much-touted mixed doubles partnership earlier this week, but today the Scot will feature in the men's doubles alongside Pierre-Hugues Herbert.

    The 32-year-old missed last year's singles with a hip injury, which he feared could end his career.

    Murray and Herbert will play the pairing of France's Ugo Humbert and Romania's Marius Copil in the first round, although the time and court has yet to be decided by Wimbledon organisers.

    The British hopefuls in action today will be wishing for more luck than their compatriots on Wednesday.

    If you missed it, British men's number one Kyle Edmund - seeded 30th - crashed out to Fernando Verdasco, despite taking a two-set lead against the Spaniard.

    Heather Watson also exited in the second round as she lost 7-5 6-1 to Anett Kontaveit.

    Oh, what a Thursday at the All England Club we have coming up...

    Yes, Andy Murray - two-time Wimbledon champion and former British number one - is set to make his long-awaited return to the hallowed SW19 turf, having not featured since 2017.

    Johanna Konta will lead the British hopes in the singles, playing Katerina Siniakovasecond on Centre Court, while young Brit Jay Clarke meets grass-court king Roger Federer.

    Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans and Harriet Dart also fly the home flag, before a "super salty" grudge match between Rafael Nadal and Aussie antagonist Nick Kyrgios, and that's not evening mentioning women's world number one Ashleigh Barty, who is in action from 11:00 BST.

    Let's go...
