A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

It's that time again. Time for every sports desk in the country to reach for the dictionary, dust it down and open it at the letter "m". Yes, Wimbledon starts today and that means we can expect a lot of alliteration when it comes to Andy Murray.

The Sun kicks off with "Murray mania mounts", referring to him as "Muzza" in the story. In fact, "mania" seems to be the Murray word du jour in all the papers. The sports writers obviously haven't got past words beginning with "m" and "a" in their dictionaries just yet.

The Mirror opts for an unusual angle in its main feature about him - how he has swapped his Ferrari for an Aston Martin. Interesting? Not really. But apparently he likes the car because it's British and at this stage of the tournament we're all still in it together and one big happy British family. Obviously, he'll very quickly go back to being Scottish if he fails to win.

The Daily Mail has signed up Muzza's mum Judy to write an in the paper during the tournament. It says she is the "most famous mum in tennis" and in her first article she wants to set something straight about her parenting technique:

Contrary to some people's perceptions, I do not actually spend all my time following Andy around the world telling him what he should and should not be doing.

Well, that's us told. Eek. She's a little bit scary.

So moving swiftly on there's a new trend alert. Today the Sun introduces the world to "" - women who have become grandparents in their 30s.

The youngest, who is very aptly named Lucy Young, was just 32 when her granddaughter was born. The mathematics are as follows - she was a mum at 18 and her daughter was a mum at 14. Oh, and Ms Young is a glamour model. Well she would be wouldn't she, this is the Sun.
