Ok, look. There is always - always - the same guy in the box that the coaches and family sit in at Wimbledon's centre court. The camera never really looks at him, but he's always there. He's been there for years, with his neat little grey goatee and impeccable suit and wide-brimmed hat, and he seems perfectly intent on the tennis. But he can't be everybody's coach, and if he were staff I'd expect him to leave the box as soon as the visitors had been escorted there. All I can think is that he's some sort of ninja-like bodyguard, ready to leap in to protect Andy Murray's mum at the drop of a KGB umbrella. He's been there every year for as long as I can remember.
Who the hell is this guy?
