Corretja believes that having his former coach back in his corner can only help Murray in his bid to secure a third Wimbledon victory. "The pressure for Andy is zero right now,” Corretja told Eurosport. “It's just 'go there, have fun'. Probably for the very first time in his career, he can go out there and whatever comes, it's [already] phenomenal. He played a final. He has played some very good tournaments. "He feels so comfortable. So just go for it, Andy, and just try your best.

Andy Murray has been drawn to face James Duckworth in the first round at Wimbledon as the former British No 1 aims to better his performance from last year.

But Murray picked up an injury during the match which forced him to withdraw from Queen's last week. Murray heads into Wimbledon off the back of a strong showing at the Stuttgart Open where he defeated Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas to reach the final. Express Sport breaks down what Murray's projected route to the final would be.

The former three-time grand slam champion has put his focus into being ready for the SW19 competition, but had a setback when he suffered a new injury ...

The injury is healing but still not perfect,” Murray said. He sunk to a career-low of number 839 in 2018 but has climbed back through the rankings, giving him his best shot of a Wimbledon run in years. The noises coming out of camp Murray currently suggest he should be fine to return to what has been a happy hunting ground for the Brit, having lifted the long domestic hoodoo on winning the famous gold trophy with his first victory in 2013.

Seventh seed Hubert Hurkacz, who is in Djokovic's half, and last year's runner-up Matteo Berrettini, a potential semi-final opponent for Nadal, could well be the biggest threats to the top two. The 19-year-old has the potential of an all-British clash in the second round against wild card Yuriko Miyazaki, who faces a tough test against France's Caroline Garcia. Tenth seed Raducanu, who is hopeful of overcoming a side strain in time, faces one of the trickier draws against experienced Belgian Alison Van Uytvanck in what could be her Centre Court debut.

The former world number one tennis player tells Emma Barnett how he's managed to bounce back from injuries.

ANDY MURRAY boasts his very own five-star hotel which features a chapel and a private loch.But if mum Judy had her way, he would not have bought it -

He said he would quite like to buy it. Judy continued: “I came up to have a look at it and really the hotel was falling to bits. “I happened to be on the phone to Andy that night and I told him. Judy told the Walking The Dog podcast: “The agent who was in charge of selling it came into my brother’s optical practice in Dunblane and gave his card and said, ‘Cromlix is about to go on the market, if the family are interested let us know before it goes on the market.’ And of course, anyone visiting the hotel who wants to emulate the owner can take to the outdoor tennis court and practise their forehands on the purple-and-blue surface, although it may get a bit chilly in the depths of winter. The hotel is set in a whopping 34 acres of stunning private gardens and woodlands in the Perthshire countryside - including quad biking, an archery range and the glistening House Loch full of brown trout for visitors to fish for.

“Yeah, look, I love playing those matches,” he said. “So that is one of the reasons why I'm still playing. Not just to play a second round match against Oscar ...

“Because I do believe that if physically I’m in a good spot and I have prepared well that I still believe there are great performances in me against the best players and in those sorts of matches.” “Or not being in a good place physically and not being able to compete to the level that I believe that I can. “Those occasions are also the ones that still drive me to continue doing all of those things,” Murray said. Certainly Murray’s performances in Stuttgart gave plenty of reason for optimism, although they came at the cost of him having to withdraw from Queen’s with an abdominal injury. “To go on the court... And it is the final rounds, not the opening ones, that he craves.

The 35-year-old Briton looks to have recovered from an abdominal issue and enters Wimbledon with more optimism than he has in recent years.

Not just to play a second round match against Oscar Otte. But to play the final of Wimbledon against Djokovic or Nadal, or [Matteo] Berrettini. One of those guys. Ahead of sustaining the abdominal injury this month, Murray had a promising run in Stuttgart on grass. He has also not gone past the third round of a major in nearly five years.

In a recent interview, the former world number one told reporters, “That [winning another Wimbledon title] is part of the motivation to still be out there competing. Former British number one Andy Murray has admitted he “still believes” that he can win a third Wimbledon title, saying that “it is part of the motivation to be still out there competing.” Despite the injury, Andy Murray, who has not won a grass-court title since his second Wimbledon title back in 2016, is set to participate in this year’s tournament and has raised hopes that he can go deep in the tournament once again.

The three-time Grand Slam champion made a public appeal for information last October when the ring went missing in Indian Wells, California.

Because I tie it to my laces so I can grip a golf club or play tennis it’s fallen off a bunch of times. And then it happened six months later on a golf course when I went back to Indian Wells. “I was on a putting green, I noticed that my laces were undone as I was walking back to the car and it was gone again, which for many reasons doesn’t look good.

WIMBLEDON and the ATP have caused a lot of debate over the SW19 ban on Russian and Belarusian players and the stripping of ranking points.

But if you notice, in other sports and in other tournaments, they're allowing the Russians to play. You're asking them to denounce something where they're afraid if they do so that their family, friends or relatives could get arrested and thrown in prison for 15 years. Both the decisions of Wimbledon and the ATP have caused great debate. Wimbledon will never be an exhibition and will never feel like an exhibition. Let's say if [Novak] Djokovic wins the tournament again, he's going to drop even further in the rankings, which makes no sense. Three-time Wimbledon winner McEnroe has by contrast spoken strongly against the ban.

With three Grand Slam titles to his name, including two Wimbledon wins, two Olympic gold medals, 46 career tournament wins and a Davis Cup winners' medal, ...

Or not being in a good place physically and not being able to compete to the level that I believe that I can. And a lot of people maybe don’t realise that about her because she has become so good at what she does now. The thing that has been frustrating for me in the last few years is going into those matches – not all of them but some of them – and not being in a good place with my tennis. “It was like chatting to my mum or a relative almost. I had not got myself to a position where I was able to be competitive in a big match on Centre Court. But those occasions are also the ones that still drive me to continue doing all of those things. “Away from the camera, I always loved chatting to Sue,” Murray said.
