Andy Murray and James Ward are through to the third round at Wimbledon, a resurgence of sorts for British tennis given the last time two of its men advanced this far was 13 years ago when Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski were contenders, although it is hardly an occasion to get out the bunting and brass bands just yet.
Still, there ought to be no downplaying of their victories on day four, Murray devastating in giving the Dutchman Robin Haase a thorough straight sets hiding on No1 Court, while Ward came through a familiar struggle to beat the difficult Czech Jiri Vesely 6-2, 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-3 on Court Two.
