Queen Elizabeth is keeping her diary clear in case British tennis ace Andy Murray makes the men's final at Wimbledon. The 83-year-old monarch - who has not visited the All England Club since 1977, when Virginia Wade became the last Briton to win a Wimbledon singles title - has purposely kept her schedule for July 5 open so she can cheer Murray on if he makes it into the final.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: "The Queen doesn't have any official engagements for Sunday. That's all I can say."
The Scottish tennis ace recently revealed he had received a note from the monarch after her won his first grass-court title at the Aegon Championships at The Queen's Club in London earlier this month.
Writing on his Twitter page, the 22-year-old sportsman said: "Got a nice letter from the queen saying well done for winning queen's. Put it in its own pile away from the bills. [sic]"
