Scot is the ace, but Britain wants best from rest of its hand

ALL eyes will be on Andy Murray late this afternoon when hismatch against Daniel Gimeno-Traver of Spain comes on to CentreCourt, but several of Murray's compatriots will also be in actiontoday, attempting to prove that British tennis is not a one-manshow.First up is Katie O'Brien, whose match against the veteranJapanese player Kimiko Date-Krumm begins at noon on the newlyrebuilt Court Three. Now 40, Date-Krumm was in the world top ten aslong ago as 1994, and had a 12-year retirement before making acomeback in 2008.O'Brien is no match for her opponent in terms ofability and experience, but, at 25, has the athleticism to troubleDate-Krumm. Neither player has been beyond the second round atWimbledon before, and the 211th-ranked Yorkshirewoman has to regardthis match as a good chance to show she is still improving.No matterhow O'Brien fares, there will be at least one Briton in the secondround of the women's singles, as Naomi Broady and Anne Keothavonghave been drawn against one another. The former British No 1,Keothavong starts as a strong favourite to win the tie, which is thefourth match scheduled for Court 12.This is a senior Wimbledon debutfor Broady, now 21, who is still best known in tennis circles forhaving her LTA funding withdrawn after pictures of her partying wereposted on the internet. A victory over the current British No 3, whois ranked more than 100 places above her, would be a major boost toa career which has never really got started.Last year, Britain'swomen endured their worst performance yet at the All England Club,with all six players exiting the tournament in the first round. ButKeothavong insists there should be no despondency around the women'sgame in Britain."There is a lot to look forward to in the next fewyears in this country," she said. "Everyone should be excited aboutit. Myself and Elena Baltacha are hanging in there, and the nextgeneration is looking promising so there is a bright future for thegame."Keothavong was aware of the criticism aimed at the Lawn TennisAssociation last year after the dismal home showing, but hopes thereis strong support for the British hopes over the coming days."Iwould like to think that people will get behind us this year andjust support us. Everyone out there is trying their best and doingall they can to win," she added."I feel well prepared this year.I've got dodgy knees and that will be the case for the rest of mycareer but I still feel okay."Daniel Cox, a 20-year-old fromLincoln, has a daunting challenge on Court 14 against SergiyStakhovsky. The Ukrainian, ranked 35, has lost the only two matcheshe has played at Wimbledon, but the draw has given him an excellentchance of making it third time lucky.
