Don't put your shirt on Tiger Tim

Wimbledon fortnight starts today with appropriately awful weather and with Ten Henman left to fly the flag for Britain after Andrew Murray dropped out with injury. But before all the folk on Henman Hiil get too excited, it’s worth pointing out that Henman is 200-1 with the bookies to win Wimbledon.

To put that in perspective, the Lib Dems are at 80-1 to have the most seats after the next election and William Hague is 100-1 to be foreign secretary in Gordon Brown’s cabinet.
