you nick kyrgios withdrew yesterday. he brings the drama.— nick kyrgios withdrew yesterday. you join us on the | hill at wimbledon this morning where many will be watching the matches on the opening day of the wimbledon championship. many of them will have been here to see nick kyrgios play. his withdrawal is one of the big talking points on day one. lovely to be back at wimbledon, the ever present fixture in the british summer. thinking about the store cream, of course but sporting action will take centre stage. we allow ourselves this wonderful interruption, we will be glued to it all and we will wait to see whether one of the british players can take centre stage, allowing ourselves to be drawn in with the drama that will unfold over the next fortnight. he wins this year is anyone's gas. willie bet against novak djokovic winning what would be a fifth title for him? —— will you bet. ben croucher reports. sport can be a very visceral experience. in sw19, it's not so much an attack, but a snuggle on the senses — the smell of the grass, the taste of triumph, that unmistakable

in the men's draw, we know it won't be australian nick kyrgios. runner—up last year, he's had to pull out with a wrist injury. novak djokovic is perhaps the safe bet. the number two seed is hoping for a fifth wimbledon title in a row. meanwhile, the ladies draw is said to be wide open. good news for 43—year—old wild card venus williams. the last of her five wins here was back in 2008. it's the epitome of not only tennis, but many sports, i think. getting a ticket to wimbledon is probably the hardest ticket to get in sports. and i have a ticket. it's been a decade since andy murray lifted the famous trophy. a repeat of that for him or any brit this year is likely to be a mountainous task. but this is wimbledon. never say never. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. i think the weather will be playing a part in wimbledon over the next couple of days, as we will see in a moment. fortoday, low pressure couple of days, as we will see in a moment. for today, low pressure is in charge and broadly speaking it is a
