By Mike Dickson Follow @@Mike_Dickson_DM Spanish sporting connections will loom large for Andy Murray on Friday afternoon as he faces Roberto Bautista Agut on the latest stage of his Wimbledon odyssey. Not only will the defending champion tackle the country’s fourth-ranked player to try to make the last 16, but Murray has also revealed that he has invested in the new film about the life of Spanish icon Seve Ballesteros, which is released on Friday. The 27-year-old Scot, whose fortune is estimated at around £40million, has used some of that cash to back the biopic of the great golfer, partly for sentimental reasons (and doubtless for some tax efficiency): ‘I normally try to invest in something that interests me a little bit. I watched a lot of golf when I was younger,’ he said.

I know my dad was a massive @placeholder fan – he loved watching him and used to talk about him a lot when we were growing up.
