While Kazakhstani player is an extremely tough opponent, British No 1 is in fine form and will have fans on her side
It is remarkably easy to get carried away when following British players at Wimbledon. Perhaps it’s a bit of simple patriotism; maybe it’s the fact that, for many casual fans, this is the only time they see most British players all year.
Some players struggle with it, the expectations too much, the groan when they miss an easy shot so demoralising that their game goes to pot. Others, like Andy Murray, thrive, using the positive energy to produce their best when it matters most. It helps that Murray was, and still is, a world-class player, but many Britons rise to the occasion when the crowd is on their side.
