COMEDIAN Keith Lemon helps Andy Murray begin his preparations for Wimbledon and the Olympic Games in earnest. Sort of.

Andy Murray’s preparations for Wimbledon and the Olympic Games took a detour via a London rooftop overlooking Olympic Park as the Scot was invited for a game of swingball with TV presenter Keith Lemon, aka comedian Leigh Francis.

Lemon, a keen swingball competitor, took a surprise 2-0 lead before play was called to a halt after the swingball set was destroyed, thanks in part to some over-zealous forehands from Murray. After the game, Lemon gave his opponent advice on best practice for grunting during matches, while also offering some tips on smiling - should Murray win at SW19, we daresay he’ll do just fine on that front.
