The World Championships that follow an Olympic Games can often have that "going into the office the morning after the work Xmas party" feel about it.

Graham Murray's Leeds Rhinos team were my first Leeds team. My first experience of going to matches might have been in 1997, but it wasn't till the following two years that I truly fell for both the game and the team. So it was with great sadness that I find myself trying to write about the man who started it all following his death from a second heart attack at the weekend.

The women's game in tennis can struggle to get a substantive amount of attention. Having to deal with the lack of great rivalries compared to the women's game in the past, the incomparable brilliance currently seen in the men's game (especially when Britain has its first male champion for 77 years), as well as the pervasive sexism that still exists in society, it looked as if this year's Wimbledon women's final may end up an eminently forgettable affair.
