Sir Alex Ferguson could have the chance to give Andy Murray more tips on sporting success after watching him from the Royal Box at Wimbledon today.
The f ormer Manchester United manager was in Centre Court for Murray ‘s quarter-final victory last year, and the tennis star described the advice he gave him during a 15-minute chat as “gold dust”.
Murray said after their meeting last year: “It’s an unbelievable work ethic for such a long period of time. Spending 15 minutes with him, he’s a really impressive guy and you can learn a lot from him.”
Sir Alex will hope to see Murray continue his fine form at this year’s tournament as he takes on South African Kevin Anderson on Centre Court.
Football Association chairman Greg Dyke is also in the Royal Box and will hope to forget about England’s disastrous World Cup.
He was joined by entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson with his daughter Holly.
Earlier the crowd on Centre Court saw Eugenie Bouchard beat Alize Cornet.
Bouchard and her twin sister are named after the Duke of York’s daughters, Eugenie and Beatrice.
The Canadian tennis star was watched by the princesses’ aunt, the Countess of Wessex, who was in the Royal Box with the Duke of Kent.
Meanwhile a cyber row appears to have broken out between British tennis supporters.
The area where fans at the All England Club watch Wimbledon on a giant screen was originally labelled as Henman Hill on Google Maps.
It was renamed Murray Mound after Andy Murray won his title last year, but it was changed back – possibly by a disgruntled Tim Henman fan – during the last two days.
A spokesman for Google said the changes are being made by users of Map Maker, a tool where people can add places to Google Maps.
