Wimbledon, the All-England club tournament gets underway today with Roger Federer once again favourite to lift the title even though he’s seeded #2 behind Novak Djokovic.

Possibly the most majestic player to ever grass the grass court tournament, Federer is coming to the 2019 Championships in good stead having won his 10th Halle tournament last week.

Regardless of seeing, there’s something a little special about the greatest centre court in the world and 37-yr-old Roger Federer always rises to the occasion.

Meanwhile Britain’s Andy Murray is aiming to make big waves on the doubles scene this year as he continues his comeback. Rafa Nadal is seeded #3, something that created some minor controversy over the past couple of days.

Murray had hip surgery in January and appears to finally be pivoting correctly off his left side.

Coverage starts today at 10:30am on BBC 2. Enjoy!
