Day two diary

Today marks the 30-year anniversary of Pat Cash’s Wimbledon final victory over Ivan Lendl and his famous clamber through the Centre Court crowd to celebrate with friends and family.

What better way then to mark that occasion than by Cash being labelled “dorky” by the player he currently coaches.

The jibe came from American Coco Vandeweghe, who has recently enlisted Australian Cash to help guide her career.

Asked to describe Cash’s personality, Vandeweghe said: “I would say he’s actually on the side of dorky a little bit sometimes. It’s a different generation. Sometimes the things that he says are like references he goes to, it’s like, ‘Dude, that’s a dorky reference.”

The rush of retirements in the men’s singles has caused alarm. But according to Agnieszka Radwanska, there is no chance of the women’s draw seeing such scenes.

She said: “When you know you’re not 100%, it’s very hard to win three sets, especially with someone who can play really good tennis on the other side of the net.

“But yes, I think the girls are really, really tough. We still want to fight and just not give up. Of course there are times it happens, as well. I think the mentality is different, yeah.” QUOTE OF THE DAY

“I believe you have to respect the sport. But I think I don’t respect it enough.” - Bernard Tomic also said he was “bored” with tennis but would play on for the financial rewards. TWEET OF THE DAY

“Falling like flies here on centre court but I’m still here.” Geoffrey Boycott, a Royal Box guest, saw two retirements but vowed to last the distance. TODAY’S TOP MATCH

Andy Murray’s clash against Dustin Brown might be a Centre Court classic, or it might be comfortable for the top seed. One thing it certainly should not be is run of the mill. Brown is one of the great tennis entertainers of the modern day. He is far more than simply a showman though, as Rafael Nadal would confirm after losing to the German-Jamaican at Wimbledon two years ago.
