No mound for Murray

As Wimbledon rolls in, so too do the storm clouds... but it wouldn't be the first day of play without a bit of sogginess.
What most tennis fans didn't expect however, was the absence of Andrew Murray in this year's competition. The Brit may be number one but a wrist injury has got the better of him this time round. A doctor's orders are final and when there's a long term career to think of, sacrifices have to be made.
Murray had been drawn to play Ecuador's Nicolas Lapentti in the first round but American Kevin Kim has now taken his place. Let's hope for a swift recovery (and some sun). In the meantime, Tim Henman has some high expectations ahead of him. Looks like Murray's Mound may not steal the Henman Hill title just yet.
Do you have a message for Murray? Maybe some words of support for Henman? Or do you just want to have your say about the matches so far? Post your Wimbledon rants in the comments section. There's also discussion happening on the official Andy Murray forum...
"Were politics involved in the handling of the pull out? That's the question being asked by some."
