Is it Murray's turn this time or will Djokovic snatch Wimbledon crown again
One final match and the sublime Serbian are the only things standing between Scot and Britain's long wait for a men's winner at Wimbledon
Andy Murray will again attempt to finally rid Britain of one of its most painful sporting millstones when he bids to become his country's first Wimbledon men's champion since 1936 today.
Not since Fred Perry 77 years ago, in the days of amateurism, flannel trousers and wooden rackets, when the storm clouds of the second world war gathered in Europe, has Britain had a men's champion at the All England Club.
Murray's campaign last year ended in a tearful final defeat to Roger Federer, a deluge of sobbing on live television, which instantly won over a British public previously sceptical of the tough-as-teak Scot.
Today, he takes on world number one Novak Djokovic, who beat him in the Australian Open final in January, although Murray won the pair's only meeting on grass at Wimbledon at last year's Olympics when he went on to win gold.
"I think I learnt a lot from last year's Wimbledon," said the 26-year-old. "The one thing that stands out is I knew how I needed to play the sort of big matches or try to play, the big matches after Wimbledon. I didn't come away from that final doubting myself or the decisions I made on the court because I went for it.
"I lost, but I didn't have any regrets as such."
