So today is the first time in nearly 19 years that the top 2 ranking spots haven't included Federer, Nadal, Murray or Djokovic. Probably longer if you omit Murray from that list but can't find that info.

It’s just the same date, as that is when Federer rose to number 1 in the world.  The whole time Murray was number one Djokovic was second, and then Federer took over and then Nadal again.

No word on Murray pulling out of Queens, so hopefully he is fine after the falling into a chair yesterday in the final.  A great week for him overall, beating Kyrgios and Tsitsipas.

Will likely play Berretini again in the second round if he makes it.

He played 9 matches in the last fortnight, the most he's done since 2016, so hopefully just a muscle strain. He's getting a scan today.

He's withdrawn.

Any word on Murray and Raducanu taking up their SW19 slots?


Not confirmed but I’m sure they’ll both get out there and hit a few balls. Retiring with injury in the first round not unlikely for either of them.

He has Ivan Lendl over so I’m pretty sure he will be playing.  I have high hopes for him, just a shame he injured himself on a bloody chair.

Going beyond that it gets worse though.  Possibly Sinner, Alcaraz and then Djokovic.  Off for the next two weeks so should get to see a good bit of it.

Probably where the loss of Wimbledon in 2020 and short grass court season in general is noticeable for some of the younger guys. In men's singles matches on grass Sinner's 0-3 and Alcaraz is 1-1.

Hopefully Murray can get through his first match feeling better and take it from there. Favourable opening matches for a few of the other Brits too.

Is Cameron Norrie any good on grass? He’s the 9th seed, but is 200/1 at Paddy Power. Potentially worth a flutter. 
In the same half of the draw as novax, Murray, dimitrov, Hurkacz, Sinner and Ruud who have all had more impressive seasons or better pedigree. Admittedly Ruud and Sinner are somewhat unproven on grass.
