I'm still number three – Alexander Zverev ready to go far at Wimbledon
The German is preparing to make his ninth appearance in the tournament and will face the Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech in the first round.
En route to the Championships Zverev was in action at the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle, where he reached the semi-final, prior to which he lost to Taylor Fritz in the final of the Stuttgart Open.
'I had pretty good preparation. Played a final, played a semi-final, worked through those tournaments as well,' he said.
'I think people are forgetting I'm still number three in the world and I'm number three in the race.
'I've had a few maybe losses here and there, which were normal, (some) which were maybe unexpected.
'All in all, I feel like my form has been coming back the last few weeks, few months.
'I'm looking forward to this championship. I think I can play well here.'
Stefanos Tsitsipas will play his first Grand Slam under the tutelage of new coach Goran Ivanisevic, formerly responsible for training Novak Djokovic.
The Greek 26-year-old, who was in action at the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic at the Hurlingham Club, said of his new mentor: 'He's been great. He's a great human being and I feel like our relationship has strengthened and become much better than what I would have expected it to be.
'I will obviously focus on the training and all of the procedures that are necessary for me to improve, and I'll make sure to get to know him better, be curious around him and ask him advice outside of all the tennis too because I feel like he can help me with so much experience that he has gained over the course of his career.
'I think the best thing that Goran has kind of stated and made clear is that he's not coaching Novak Djokovic right now and we're kind of starting from scratch.
'He's coaching me in a way as if I just started playing tennis, which is a great thing because it's very down to earth and a very humbling experience as a player to get to experience that.
'There are no expectations, obviously he doesn't expect me to, from tomorrow, start winning Grand Slams one after the other like Novak.
'Every small success that I manage to achieve with him, it doesn't have to be a huge, but every small success is a huge success.'

Wimbledon 2025: Today's order of play, when will Emma Raducanu play and how to watch
Draper was beaten in the second round last year by compatriot Cameron Norrie in what was Murray's final appearance at Wimbledon. His prospects have been hugely enhanced since then, however, as he reached the US Open semi-finals and won his first Masters 1000 title in Indian Wells. When asked whether he could be less conservative in his celebrations than he had in the US tournaments, he added: 'We'll have to find out.' Play gets under way in what is expected to be the hottest ever start to Wimbledon, with temperatures to hit 35 degrees Celsius by Tuesday. None of Britain's top hopes have been handed ideal draws, however Emma Raducanu, also a British No 1, has former champion Marketa Vondrousova and the world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka blocking her route to a place in week two. Raducanu finds herself up against the Welsh teenager Mimi Xu in round one. Sabalenka could await in what would be a daunting third-round encounter. Draper, meanwhile, is in the same half of the draw as the top-seeded Jannik Sinner, seven-time champion Novak Djokovic and Americans Ben Shelton and Tommy Paul. He could play Lorenzo Sonego in round two. Djokovic, chasing a 25th slam at the age of 38, would be a likely quarter-final opponent. Katie Boulter and Sonay Kartal, both rivals to Raducanu's British No 1 ranking, also face tricky first rounds. Boulter plays the former world No 2 Paula Badosa while Kartal, whom like Fearnley recently cracked the world's top 50, faces the former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko. The hottest ever day at Wimbledon was on July 1 2015, when temperatures reached 35.7C. The warmest opening day on record was on June 25 2001, when temperatures hit 29.3C. New for 2025 No line judges In a major break from history for the Championships, an automated electronic line calling (ELC) system will be adopted this year, consigning line judges to the past. The technology will be in place across all Championships and qualifying match courts, with more than 450 cameras installed across the two venues to facilitate its operation. A contingent of the former line umpires will return to the tournament in the new role of match assistants. Change to finals weekend The men's and women's singles finals will start at 4pm, two hours later than usual, to appeal to global broadcasters, with both matches now beginning on the west coast of the United States at the more generous time of 8am, rather than 6am. The All England Club said the decision to move the singles finals to later slots, with doubles showpieces starting at 1pm 'makes for a better conclusion to the Championships'. Wimbledon court and stadium guide Wimbledon has six show courts: Centre Court, No 1 Court, No 2 Court, No 3 Court, Court 12 and Court 18. Centre is the largest court at the All England Club and features the famous Royal Box. The court capacity on Centre is 14,974 while Court No 1 can hold 12,345. There are 12 other grass courts in use throughout the tournament. Court 8 was where an 18-year-old John McEnroe made his SW19 bow against Egypt's Ismail El Shafei in 1977. In 1995, on Court 14, Tim Henman became the first player to be disqualified from Wimbledon when playing in a doubles match with Jeremy Bates against the United States' Jeff Tarango and Sweden's Henrik Holm. Henman was punished for whacking a ball in anger, accidentally hitting 16-year-old ball girl Caroline Hall in the head.

'Special' Liverpool star who left Jurgen Klopp speechless could unlock £50m deal
With Liverpool and Arne Slot reportedly in hot pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, young winger Ben Doak, who once wowed Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, could play catalyst Liverpool could offer youngster Ben Doak to Crystal Palace in their bid to recruit £50million defender Marc Guehi, it's been claimed. The 19-year-old was once lauded by former boss Jurgen Klopp, who branded him a special talent The Reds are yet to put their wallet away in the transfer market, having already secured the services of Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen as well as left-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth for a combined £186m. Now, attention has turned to another defensive reinforcement in light of centre-back Jarrell Quansah's expected departure, and England star Guehi is high on the club's list. It is alleged that the 24-year-old would cost the Reds around £50m, but to reduce that cash sum, new reports suggest young Scottish winger Doak, who has received glowing praise from Anfield royalty in the past, may be thrown into a swap deal for Guehi. The Sun claim that the 19-year-old is valued at £25m by Liverpool, and the club will attempt to use him to entice Palace to part with Guehi this window. The defender is out of contract in 2026. Doak first burst onto the scene in 2021 as a Celtic youth prospect, making his debut in a Scottish Premiership win against Dundee United that year. He was signed by the Reds in 2022 for around £600,000 and made his Liverpool bow in an EFL Cup tie against Derby County. Doak rapidly progressed through the club's U18 set-up, scoring on his first start for them, and quickly became too good even for the U21 side. Under Klopp, Doak impressed, and the German manager hailed his impact. In a 4-2 friendly win against German side Karlsruher in July 2023, Klopp was lost for words when describing Doak, saying: "Ben Doak, oh my God, it's much fun to watch these kids." Later that year, Klopp was asked about some of his squad's youngsters, and he said: "Ben Doak, obviously nice signs, he's with us in training again. Special boy, really confident, has something nobody else delivers, really. "This kind of dribbling, this kind of straight-forward bravery, all these kind of things. Technically, really good, high speed, super-promising, but very young." The following year, Doak, who was recovering from a knee injury, was called up to Steve Clarke's provisional Scotland squad for Euro 2024 and received a seal of approval from ex-Liverpool ace Danny Murphy. "He is a super quick, explosive winger," Murphy told talkSPORT. "I don't know where he is at fitness-wise, but he gives you something so different because of his pace. He's got amazing, explosive pace, which could cause teams problems off the bench." However, Doak failed to make the final squad due to his ailment and was sent on loan to Middlesbrough over the summer. He scored three times in the Championship this season and registered seven assists. Though he is evidently held in incredibly high regard, Doak's exit could now enable the Merseyside arrival of Guehi, as the Reds gear up for a top-flight title defence.

Wimbledon heatwave statement, new rule and fresh protocols amid sweltering start
Wimbledon started on Monday amid soaring temperatures in south west London and the All England Lawn Tennis Club have implemented a new approach to combatting the heat Wimbledon has begun at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in south west London, with thousands of tennis fans descending on the site for some world-class tennis. This year they have come prepared with sun hats, sun cream and plenty of water, with the south east of England experiencing its second heatwave of the summer. Temperatures could reach 34 degrees in London on Monday, meaning it could be one of the hottest ever days in June. It is already provisionally the hottest start to Wimbledon ever, while the highest temperature ever recorded at the Grand Slam could be threatened, with the Met Office putting amber weather warnings in place. The hot weather makes a change from the frequent wet starts to the tournament in SW19, but it does also present some challenges for organisers. Here Mirror Sport takes a look over the plans in place, including a new rule. Wimbledon's advice Chief executive Sally Bolton said: "Obviously it's a very warm day. The first obvious point to make is that the athletes compete in temperatures like this all year on the tour. For us Brits here at the championships it feels very hot. We do have the heat rule available to us, which is well used on the tour." She added: "For colleagues working around the grounds we've got plenty of changes in shift patterns to make sure they're getting regular breaks. "And for the guests that will be joining us we're offering the same advice as lots of the medical professionals – come prepared, bring a hat, wear sunscreen, wear light clothing if you can, take breaks out of the sun.' Heat rule This year players will be allowed to request a 10-minute break if the temperature is over 30.1 degrees. Championships referee Denise Parnell explained: 'The heat rule will apply to all singles events at the Qualifying and Main Draw for The Championships 2025. These are the Gentlemen's Singles, Ladies' Singles, Boys' Singles, Girls' Singles, Gentlemen's Wheelchair Singles, Ladies' Wheelchair Singles, and Quad Wheelchair Singles. 'It allows a 10-minute break when the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is at or above 30.1 degrees Celsius. It applies to all matches including those which have already started. Only one of the players participating in the match needs to request the break for the rule to be implemented. 'The rule will apply after the second set for all best of three set matches, and after the third for all best of five set matches. Players may leave the court during the break, but they may not receive coaching or medical treatment. 'The heat index is a measure, which factors together the air temperature, the humidity and the surface temperature and is measured by a heat stress monitor. The WBGT readings are taken 30 minutes prior to the start of play and then at 14.00 and 17.00. 'If there is a change in weather conditions and the rule is lifted, those matches already in progress will be completed with the rule in place. 'The heat rule will not apply to matches played under the roofs. In addition, if a match is carried over to a following day when the heat rule is in place, then it will not apply to any best of three set match that has completed one set, or to any best of five set match that has completed two sets.' Hot weather measures Wimbledon have planned for the hot weather and implemented some new things for this year's tournament. First of all, there are more water stations than ever on site, with over 100 places where spectators can refill their bottles for free. Over 6,700 reusable bottles have been issued to staff. There are Met Office staff onsite too, with weather updates being displayed on the big screens and via SMS messages to staff. The staff are working rotating shifts, which means they won't be stood in the sun for long, while ball boys and girls have neck coverings on their caps and cooling scarves. There are plenty of medical professionals around, ready to help anyone struggling in the heat, and there are an increased number of shaded areas this year.
