Martin Samuels musings about Wimbledon have been spot on this week. The Daily Mail writer hailed the success of the new roof at Wimbledon and how it heralded a new era for British tennis with Andy Murray coming through in an epic encounter watched by more than 12 million viewers.

Andy Murray has conducted himself brilliantly in the last fortnight or so - not over-egging his triumph at Queens, not falling into the trap of talking about winning the final this year, but I thought his criticisms of the new roof misplaced.

The issues with humidity and the lighting are the same for both players and tennis has been played under floodlights all over the world for years.

The media are quick to pulls all the ills of tennis at the feet of Roger Draper and the LTA, which quite frankly is utterly ridiculous.

Look at the school headmasters who allow their tennis courts to grow weeds, look at the municipal courts with the holes in the nets and the potholes on the courts, look at the education and sports ministers who do not take control and lead our schools encourage youngsters to take up their racquets.

The LTA are investing huge sums of money in top coaches, giving talented youngsters the best support they can get and encouraging the grass roots of the sport to modernize.

The revolution is only four years old… give them a break, give them time and support the initiatives and perhaps we can all enjoy the harvest a crop of fine young players will provide in the years to come.
