Alesha Dixon warmed up the Wimbledon crowd by challenging people in the queue to a game of tennis. The Breathe Slow singer took on all-comers from the queue as it snaked alongside the Wimbledon golf course. She said: "I'm not a great player but I have been getting a bit of coaching from Tim Henman." She continued: "He's a true gentleman and very professional. I saw my game improve in just four short sessions. "I'm quite a competitive person and a play a lot of sport." But the singer refused to answer questions on media speculation that she is to replace Arlene Phillips as a judge on BBC dance show Strictly, which she won in 2007. Alesha gave her full backing to the British tennis hopefuls. "I'm behind Andy Murray," she said. "He's got his strongest chance and it feels like this could be his year. "He is under a lot of pressure from the media but if he can endure the pressure he can perform extremely well. I don't see why he can't win - he's got the skill. Source
