Andy Murray's mother's battle of nerves People like Federer has been the number one player and in the final for years, and as a result they are in almost every other day and I have got to know them extremely well. But I get to know the family more than the players usually. I've only just met Roger, he doesn't come into the box, but his wife is lovely. Of Mrs Murray, he said she was "quiet and tense until the shot's done then you see her stand up and applaud," while Mr Spearing, easily spotted by his trademark black hat, is also "good friends" with the Henmans. "Being the British number one most of his matches - not all of them - were on centre court," he said. They were in the box each day basically, they had their special seats, they always sat in the same ones - Tony on the end seat and his wife Jane on the next. Jane would be waiting at the bottom of the steps of the previous match, she would come rushing up the steps then down into the box. At one time players were allowed just six people each in the box, but can now have up to 19, Mr Spearing said. Obviously they want family members, coaches and trainers but now they have a lot of friends. A few days ago I was absolutely delighted to be talking to Dustin Hoffman. He is tremendous, great fun. But he found himself having to politely evict the star after some confusion. Those in the players' box only have their seats for a specific match, so when Hoffman tried to return to the same seat for Andy Roddick's match, Mr Spearing had to explain he couldn't. The actor was found a spare seat nearby, and after a quiet word by Mr Spearing, joined Roddick's family in the box.
