Today is the day that Andy Murray makes his assault on a second Wimbledon title as Great Britain's modern pentathletes win team silver at the European Championships. Here's our review of the last 24 hours:
Andy Murray has played in ten Grand Slam finals but will experience something new today when he strolls out on to Wimbledon’s Centre Court at 2pm – the pressure of being the favourite.
In his previous major finals the Scot has always lined up against either Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic, with their combined 29 Grand Slam titles.
But it’s Canadian sixth seed Milos Raonic he faces in his third All England Club final, a player making his debut at this level.

A trio of strong performances saw Great Britain’s women take team silver at the Modern Pentathlon European Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Joanna Muir was consistent across all five disciplines as she claimed a fifth-placed finish while the Rio-bound duo of Kate French and Samantha Murray continued their Olympic preparations by coming tenth and 17th respectively.
GB finished 28 points behind winners Lithuania, for whom Laura Asadauskaite retained the individual European title she clinched last year, with Russia coming third – just two points off the British trio.
Chris Froome took a massive stride towards a third Tour de France crown as he completed a scintillating victory on stage eight to take the leader’s yellow jersey.
Froome’s win means that British riders have won five of the eight stages so far, after Steve Cummings’ victory on Friday and Mark Cavendish’s trio of sprint triumphs.
The defending champion, who also won in 2013, launched a brutal assault on his fellow general classification contenders as they made the final descent of the day to win the 183km stage to Bagneres-de-Luchon in the Pyrenean mountains.
Froome said: "With tomorrow being an uphill finish, it was in the back of my mind that not many could make a big difference so going over the top today, I thought why not?”

Steph Twell won 5000m bronze as Team GB added two more medals to their tally on the penultimate day of the European Athletics Championships in Amsterdam.
Twell put in a strong performance to finish third, behind Turkey’s Yasemin Can and Sweden’s Meraf Bahta, in 15:20.70 minutes.
GB’s second bronze medal came in the men’s triple jump, as Julian Reid’s 16.76m was enough for him to claim his first senior championship medal behind Germany’s Max Heb and Poland’s Karol Hoffmann.
“It is fantastic, absolutely unreal,” said Twell of her 5000m bronze. “I knew I had to go for any colour of medal and I just had to run right through to the line.”

Team GB rugby sevens fans will be licking their lips at the prospect of another match-up between the Royals and the Lions squads, after both sides eased through the group stages of the Exeter Sevens on Saturday.
An impressive 193 points were scored in total by the two teams, with just 15 conceded on the opening day of action at Exeter Chiefs’ Sandy Park stadium.
Simon Amor’s charges – who will see their numbers cut down to one Olympic squad of 12 after this tournament – met last weekend in the final of ‘Sevens and the City’, where the Lions won an exhilarating contest 27-14.
And should they now come through their quarter-final clashes – where the Royals meet Georgia and the Lions take on Russia – the two GB teams will lock horns in the semis after both topped their groups.
The Royals made it there after beating Portugal 31-0, Poland 43-0, and holding off a stern French challenge to win 17-10.
Meanwhile the Lions improved as the day wore on, starting with a 31-5 victory over Belgium before accelerating to 31-0 and 41-0 victories over Italy and Germany.
