Murray hoping to summon spirit of 2016 ahead of all-British battle
Andy Murray is relishing the prospect of an all-British Wimbledon battle as he looks to summon the spirit of 2016 and continue his searing start to the grass court season.

Ad Murray grabbed a pair of grass court titles in Surbiton and Nottingham last month and comes into the All England Club showpiece in the best form — and physical shape — for several years since his memorable triumphs in 2013 and 2016 after being hampered by a long-term hip injury.

Was Jonny Bairstow Run-Out 'Against Spirit Of Cricket'? UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Responds
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday aimed a verbal bouncer at Australia's cricketers after the Lord's Ashes match -- but ruled out turning it into a Bodyline-style diplomatic incident. Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal was not in keeping with the spirit of the game, Sunak's spokesman told reporters. "The prime minister agrees with (England captain) Ben Stokes who said he simply wouldn't want to win a game in the manner that Australia did," the spokesman said. But Sunak, a keen cricket fan who watched with Prince William from the Lord's pavilion on Saturday, also deplored the Long Room abuse directed at the Australians by Marylebone Cricket Club members.
