5 signs about Rio Olympics that we learned from the 2016 Wimbledon Championships

Great Britain are a force to contend with

The Murray brothers have both been in form, while Team GB’s Heather Watson took her maiden Grand Slam

They broke a long-standing Davis Cup dry spell last December, and England’s tennis players have been in fine form in 2016. With Andy Murray excelling at the singles, brother Jamie has been no slouch at the doubles either.

Older brother Jamie and English partner Dominic Inglot have excelled at their recent Davis Cup tie, and this time, with both Murray brotehrs in fine nick, the constant doubles partners at the Olympics will team up yet again. Jamie has two Grand Slam titles himself, one each in the men’s and mixed doubles.

Both Murray brothers have Wimbledon titles – and now, so does another member of team GB. Heather Watson took her debut Grand Slam title in the mixed doubles at the venue last week with partner Henri Kontinen, and partnered by either Inglot or the older Murray – both of whom are proficient doubles players, the side could pull off wins across categories this year.
