Andy Murray may have not dropped a single set yet at Wimbledon as he cruises into tomorrow's quarter-final but he knew he met his match when he faced me at the Queen's Club three years ago. I came into the game with a strange history of always winning the first point against any tennis star who had faced me across the net. Whether it was Bjorn Borg, Greg Rusedski or Peter Fleming, they had all succumbed to my crunching forehand return on the first point of a subsequent set. The same fate happened to Murray who was unable to reach my reply when he sent down his first serve. Like all the others, he did not take too kindly to this and proceeded to demolish me as a result, playing like the true competitor he is and has to be if he has serious intentions of winning Wimbledon this year. But it got me to thinking. With a record of played four, won four first points, wouldn't it be good if there was a tennis tournament where the whole match was decided on one point? You'd have to point at my record and say that I'd have one hell of a chance.
