What is Twitter?

Murray's chances of winning his first Grand Slam event were given an unexpected boost when defending champion Rafa Nadal was forced to pull out last week.

Bookies have installed last year's runner-up and French Open winner Roger Federer as favourite with Murray a close second to become the first Brit to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry's victory in 1936.

Over at the Andy Murrayometer a poll has been set up to decide whether the 22-year-old is Scottish or British. Currently 84 per cent of voters say he's British.

In the women's championship, should Venus Williams retain her crown, she will become the first woman to win three successive titles since Stefi Graf in the early Nineties.
