Centre Court at Wimbledon today will tell a tale of two men: one vying to prove he can be the future of British tennis and another fighting to show he is not ready to be consigned to its past.
First up is 19-year-old Jack Draper against world No 1 Novak Djokovic, and in the final match it's 34-year-old Andy Murray against his metal hip, his desperate lack of match practice and Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia.
To the younger player first, and his date with the man who bestrides the tennis world like a colossus.

Draper's talent has long been known, but his performance at Queen's Club in the cinch Championships earlier this month, beating two top-40 players, still came as a pleasant surprise.
From one big-serving British leftie to another, former US Open finalist Greg Rusedski reckons Draper is the man to carry the flag into the post-Murray world.
'He looks the heir apparent,' said Rusedski. 'It's going to be very interesting to see Jack against the best player on the planet, see how his game holds up.
'It's an amazing experience to play the defending champion in the opening match of the Championships.'
Draper will be one of 10 home hopefuls on a bumper first day of British action. Plenty will have more immediate hopes of making a run through the draw, but Rusedski reckons none have Draper's potential.
'He has the full package,' said the 47-year-old. 'He is still in those early stages. Draper is our best prospect so far. He is a fellow leftie with a big serve and good groundstrokes.
'The areas in his game to work on are his defence and transitioning forward a little bit more.'
Djokovic comes into Wimbledon just two weeks after winning the French Open and with only a few doubles matches in Mallorca by way of grass-court preparation, so the first round should be the best time to play him.
If Draper can bring his leftie serve and booming forehand to bear, he could at least make it an uncomfortable afternoon for the defending
