The suggestion from Murray, who wed Kim last year, is that married life gives him an emotional stability that enables him to play his best tennis.But his semifinal opponent, Tomas Berdych, has told the Wimbledon Diary how he takes a different view. Marriage hasnt changed how I see tennis -- I would say that tennis and my personal life are two completely different things, said the Czech, who married model Ester Satorova in Monte Carlo last summer. I just got to the stage in my life where I decided that it was right for us to get married, that it was what we wanted to do. Also, it could be that all of us [at the top of the game] are of a similar age, and were all getting older, and so people get married, thats just natural.The only one of the four mens semifinalists who is unmarried is Milos Raonic, who is in a relationship with model Danielle Knudson.

Judging by the amount, his behaviour wasnt deemed as terrible as Heather Watsons (fined $12,000 for bashing her racket on the ground) or Serena Williams (another racket-basher, docked $10,000) or Viktor Troickis (screaming at an umpire, which cost him $10,000).ddddddddddddedding bells ring for WillisInvitations could soon be going out to another tennis wedding.

The Romanian, who twice played in Wimbledon finals in the 1970s, turned up last year in a white and gold military uniform that invited comparisons with the fashion sense of Sacha Baron Cohens character in The Dictator. But Nastase -- who is entitled to wear that uniform as he holds the rank of retired major-general in the Romanian army -- came dressed as an accountant this summer. He wore a grey suit.
