    TODAY AT WIMBLEDON

    The Guardian
    Tuesday June 27, 2006

    Matches of the day Andy Murray v Nicolas Massu The hopes of a nation
    will be with the temperamental Scot but he could have done with
    a more favourable draw. Massu is seeded 33rd and has two Olympic
    titles to his name. "I am probably not going to win it this year,"
    said Murray. "So if I lose in the first round or the quarter-final
    it doesn't make a big difference."

    Meng Yuan v Justine Henin-Hardenne Is this the Belgian's year?

    Henin-Hardenne's preparations, usually dogged by injuries, have
    been near perfect this year and 2006 may represent her most genuine
    opportunity of winning the title. Her Chinese opponent should offer
    little threat in this Centre Court opener.

    Outside interest Tathiana Garbin v Katie O'Brien The 20-year-old
    Briton, whose father is the former Watford full-back Phil O'Brien,
    is capable of springing a surprise against her Italian opponent.

    Seed in doubt Paul-Henri Mathieu v Mark Philippoussis Philippoussis
    may be approaching his 30th birthday but the big serve still sends
    a shiver down most players' spine at the championships. Mathieu is
    seeded 32nd and his place will be in serious danger if he is unable
    to combat the Scud's missiles.

    Anorak's corner David Nalbandian, the fourth seed from Argentina who
    plays Wesley Moodie, is of Armenian descent. In Persian his surname
    means "one who makes horseshoes".
