SW19 Court Circular - The Wimbledon Diary

 COMPARED to Judy Murray, the Wimbledon WAGS couldn't have it easier.

While Bec Hewitt and Brooklyn Decker sat sun-drenched on centre court to watch hubbies Lleyton Hewitt and Andy Roddick slug it out for five-sets, Judy had to be in two places at once.

While Andy Murray was in action against Juan Carlos Ferrero on centre court, older brother Jamie was playing mixed doubles with American Liezel Huber.

She made a swift exit from centre to dash to the outer courts to watch Jamie book his place in the last eight when Andy was 3-1 down in the second set.

But Murray junior proceeded to claim 20 of the next 21 points to march into the last four, with Judy nowhere in sight.

WAGAMS doesn't quite have the same ring to it though.

* The Wimbledon Twitter craze has gone from strength to strength this year - so much so that even the face of the BBC coverage is in on the act.

Sue Barker had trouble sleeping on Tuesday night and tweeted: "Oh dear. I can't sleep. Maybe I'll put the radio on..." at 4:24am on Wednesday morning.

Surely she's still exhausted after the BEEB stayed on air until after 10:30pm to bring Andy Murray's five-set thriller with Stanislas Wawrinka to a living room near you.

The USA's Justin Gimelstob is also having sleeping troubles, but was a touch more insightful about his problems.

"My sleeping issues are a perfect storm of being in a constant state of Jet-lag, Jewish neurosis, a tolerance to sleeping pills and no AC here."

YOU have to hand it to Proctor and Gamble - they really got one over on the All England Club on Wednesday.

Most companies pay a small fortune to have their goods become official Wimbledon products, but the makers of Pringles crisps did so for sweet FA.

In true ambush-marketing style, the particulary moreish crisps were being given away by the bucketload across SW19 - from the All England Club, all the way down to Wimbledon train station.

The Pringles pipes - which resemble a tube of tennis balls from a distance - were carrying the ingenious slogan: "These are NOT tennis balls!"

They were scoffed down by thousands of the All England Club faithful - once they popped they really couldn't stop. And who said there's no such thing as a free lunch?

* SECONDARY ticket agents are doing a roaring trade ahead of this weekend's men's singles final.

The prospect of witnessing history - should Andy Murray make the final and then win - clearly has a value.

The All England Club - which works hard to clamp down on touts - will not be so happy to see non-debenture tickets, which cannot be resold, trading on Ebay.

And the going price? A mere £5,000 for a pair.

Wimbledon authorities have confirmed they are investigating bogus websites charging thousands of pounds for tickets that do not exist.

* SIR Cliff Richard was back at the All England Club with Cilla Black as his guest in the Royal Box.

The mind boggles as to their conservational topics.

With ‘Singing in the Rain' now out of the question, perhaps the duo were planning a duet for a rendition of ‘Up on the Roof' should the weather turn nasty again.

No such luck for the old crooners, the sun shone brightly and temperatures soared above 30°C again.

They can always turn their hand to ‘Don't let the sun go down on me' as a last resort.
