Golden oldies giving it their all to compete

Murray will leave decision until last minute, while patched-up Djokovic shows his desire

AORANGI PARK is a cutaway from Wimbledon at its northern-most point, a haven of grass courts predominantly hidden away from the prying eyes of the public.

Athletes are creatures of habit, and Andy Murray always tucks himself on either of the two courts to the furthest left of the park.

It is here where the greatest anticipation has been over his participation and that of Novak Djokovic, both 37 now and both arriving in south-west London following operations and uncertainty over their participation.

Djokovic has had the longer time to recover, but the more serious surgery, a repaired meniscus leaving him with a knee support when playing. His movement has looked good on court and he beat Daniil Medvedev, albeit in an exhibition match, last week and has declared himself fit and capable of winning Wimbledon.
