Andy Murray's Wimbledon Title Prospect Enhances

Andy Murray beat Lu Yen-hsun to reach third round at Wimbledon 2013 avenging an embarrassing defeat at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Murray took just two hours to get past Lu Yen-hsun with 6-3, 6-3, 7-5, scorecard. He might have served a little more consistently but he hit 11 aces and 41 clean winners, with only 14 unforced errors.

While other players in the tournament seemed to be falling in an undignified heap, Andy Murray kept his nerve and his footing to advance to round three with a quietly efficient dismissal of Lu Yen-hsun on Court No.1, where Rafael Nadal made a shock exit on day one and Victoria Azarenka took the tumbles on day two that put her out of the competition.

Andy Murray'S chances of making history by breaking a 77-year British sporting jinx at Wimbledon have been dramatically enhanced by the shock exits of heavyweights like Roger Federer, the defending champion, Rafael Nadal and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. The decimation of the lower half of the men's singles draw leaves Murray with Nicolas Almagro, as his highest-ranked opponent on a route to the final.

McLaren to bring big upgrades for Silverstone

McLaren has tested its latest upgrade package at the Idiada circuit in Spain to decide which to keep on the car. As Formula One returns to Eurpore this weekend, Mclaren is hoping to make a decent step forward at Silverstone. They used the opportunity between the Canadian and British Grands Prix to test thier upgrades during an allowed straight-line test.

In the recently concluded Canadian Grand Prix, the Woking based team failed to bring either of their cars inside top ten position. This is the first time in 64 consecutive races they have failed to score a point. Jonathan Neale, Mclaren's managing director, feels the car is lacking downforce and that is what they are trying to create at the moment.

British fans are looking forward to see Mclaren secure their first podium in 2013 at Silverstone. British Fans will also witness a four-man Brit attack at this weekend in Silverstone. Lewis Hamilton, Max Chilton, Paul di Resta and Jenson Button will compete for a win at home. Lewis Hamilton was victorious in the 2008 race with McLaren. Wish he recreates the magic again.

Buy British Grand Prix Tickets at the Gate of Silverstone Circuit

Undoubtedly the British Grand Prix is the best attended race on the Formula 1 calendar year.But Britain's lack of success on the track has caused a slump in ticket sales for the first time in a decade. The organisers of this weekend's grand prix which for the past two years has sold out, will sell tickets at the gate in an effort to boost attendance across all three racing days. The lack of a British driver winning a race so far this season combined with McLaren's poor form, is being blamed for the drop in ticket sales. But managing director of British Grand Prix, Richard Phillips, is not expecting to reach the record attendance levels of 2011 and 2012, still anticipates another big crowd at Silverstone this weekend.

Ticket sales were slower than usual during the early days, but have seen a significant upturn in interest and buying patterns since F1 returned to Europe. Also an improvement in the weather and a promising forecast for the weekend, will boost ticket sales to fans deciding to turn up on the day. This weekend’s attendance looks set to be one of our biggest in recent years. The British Grand Prix organisers have opened a new counter at Gate 1 to purchase ticket.
