 I am working on basis that one day, somehow, one of them will come good!

 

And any player who can take Jonny Marray to a Wimbledon title deserves support as well!

Freddie is a top guy. Met him playing futures in 2017 in Martos & Palma del Rio. Really down to earth guy and happy to chat with anyone. He was telling me his biggest claim to fame wasn't Wimbledon, it was when he won Martos (Futures) singles in 2016 and hence winning his own body weight in Olive Oil.

Andy Murray and Pierre-Hugues Herbert will play fellow unseeded pair Marius Copil and Ugo Humbert in the first round of the men's doubles Could potentially face Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski in the third round #Wimbledon

After the Men's Single's draw, this is definitely a "bring you back down to earth" draw.

Pleased to see Jack get a doubles WC in the end, a good pay day considering he's gone pro and good intro to main draw life at Wimble
