The greatest intrusion that Tomas Berdych ever experienced away from the court was when he was followed by a couple of photographers.Berdychs semifinal against Andy Murray -- with Ivan Lendl looking on from Murrays guests-box, and with the 1973 champion Jan Kodes seated in the Royal Box -- was a reminder of how Czech players used to have their lives picked over by the states security apparatus. The Wimbledon Diary has seen the files from the 1980s that demonstrate how Lendl and Kodes were spied on by the StB, the secret police of the then Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, with the spooks particularly interested in who they were talking to.While Kodes had the codename Vitez, meaning winner, Lendl was simply known to the agents and their informants as Ivan. Its highly unlikely that any state ever spied on their tennis players as the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic did, with the administration terrified that the athletes would follow Martina Navratilovas lead and defect to the West. Lendl was analysed by the StBs X Division, which was responsible for the counter-intelligence against internal enemies.It was in 1982 that a division chief in Prague signed a document approving the opening of a personal file on Lendl, with regards to his connections with adversary persons. Among the collaborators informing on Lendl were some of his familys closest friends, as well as some within Czech tennis.Strawberries, no creamSerena Williams is halfway to being a tennis traditionalist. The Wimbledon Diary has learned that while the American eats strawberries at the All England Club, what she wont do is smother them with cream.

By taking his seat on Centre Court, he seemed to be sending a message that, a fortnight after the public voted for Brexit from the European Union, he was no longer so alarmed about the economy. Otherwise, what would he be doing at Wimbledon?While Carney watched tennis in the sunshine, the FTSE 100 equity index rose by almost one per cent on Friday, closing at its highest level in almost a year. It was a good days work for Carney. The tennis would have been pleased him, too. Carney, who is Canadian, would have been thrilled to have watched Milos Raonic reaching a first Grand Slam final, which you can watch Sunday at 9 a.m. ET on ESPN and WatchESPN.Best of friends?All these years after they played on Centre Court, John McEnroes admiration for Bjorn Borg endures.

Warwickshire 25 for 1 trail Durham 207 (Richardson 55, Patel 5-32) by 182 runsScorecard There is the faintest risk of relegation in the air for Durham and Warwickshire, with the whiff about to become stronger for whichever county finishes on the wrong end of the result here. Just the time then with the Championship season at such a critical juncture for Paul Collingwood to stage an encore for Brigadier Block.Durhams coach, Jon Lewis, had summoned the squad in on Monday, barely 24 hours after their defeat in the final of the NatWest T20 Blast, for a practice session that he called more mental than physical. The emphasis had to switch to four-day cricket and Collingwood, who ground out 23 in 107 deliveries, certainly gave it his full attention.It was clear from the outset that if Warwickshire got him out it would be over his dead body - it was just that there were times in a stubbornly strokeless display when it seemed that his death had been a little premature.It was the sort of Bowling Day that legitimised such defiance with plenty of encouragement for the bowlers in humid conditions and on a pitch that Warwickshire regarded as a bit tacky. Only Michael Richardson, who made 55 from 72 balls before he edged Keith Barker low to second slip, and more briefly Jack Burnham, also picked up at slip, this time off Chris Wright, made much headway in a total of 207 that took 81 overs to compile.Richardson has handed over the gloves to Stuart Poynter and the batting responsibility seemed to spur him on. But generally, it was attritional fare for a decent sun-drenched crowd.Barker bowls his left-arm medium with grace despite his bulk, a man who one suspects would barely leave a footmark in a fresh fall of snow. Such economy of effort enabled him to deliver 11 overs with the new ball, bowling Mark Stoneman and swinging one away from Keaton Jennings to have him caught at first slip. Barker has made a habit of tormenting Durham witth bat and ball in recent seasons and 3 for 29 off 17 overs was another decent effort.ddddddddddddBut once Richardson had departed, half the Durham side sent back for 151, the last five wickets fell to the offspin of Jeetan Patel. Figures of 5 for 32 in 15.3 overs are not what you expect from a spinner on an opening day at Emirates Riverside, even in a season where attempts have been made to encourage spinners back into the game.At a time when Collingwood might have hoped to benefit, he became increasingly careworn, feet not always moving, bat likewise. His only boundary was a delicate leg glance off Barker from the 67th ball he faced. There was a flurry of activity straight after tea when he tried to drive Patel and the ball spun past leg stump and trundled for four byes.He fell in hesitant fashion to the next delivery, sitting back to dab the ball between silly point and slip, flinging his head back in response to some modest turn and bounce and somehow depositing the ball into the hands of silly point. It was an innings to make his various injuries niggle away a little deeper, but Durham scored 114 for 2 while he was at the crease and the value of his innings might be recognised in hindsight.Patel made short work of the rest. Poynter and Barry McCarthy, back from Ireland duty, were both bowled, Paul Coughlin swept to deep midwicket and Graham Onions idiosyncratic reverse paddle against Patel was the sort of T20 shot Lewis had feared, only from a No. 11 who had not actually been part of the squad.Durhams resolve has never been higher this season than when they won at Edgbaston last month, surviving Chris Woakes brilliant 9 for 35 to secure the game on the final morning. They will need a display of similar determination, one fancies, if they are to come out on the right side of this one.
