JUDY Murray knows exactly how she will feel when she takes her place in the players' box to watch both her sons compete at Wimbledon.
Eldest Jamie, former doubles No1, is kicking off his campaign in SW19 today, while Andy's dreams of a third Wimbledon singles title start tomorrow.
"I get terribly nervous," Judy confessed. "I tend to not watch on TV and I don't go so often now.
"If you go to a grand slam, you'll be there a week before the tournament to prepare. And if they get to the end of a grand slam, you're there for three weeks. It's emotionally exhausting.
"I tell people it's like severe nausea and a series of mini-heart attacks going on at the same time.
"I'm honestly surprised I'm still alive after what they've put me through after all these years.
These days, Judy, 63, who lives in Perthshire, only watches that matches Andy, 36, and Jamie, 37, are playing in. "I go in, watch the match and leave. I don't hang around and meet friends," she said,
She admitted she looks forward to the day she can go to Wimbledon and her boys are no longer competing.
