Meet the TWAGS heating-up Wimbledon – from Ester Berdych Satorova to Jelena Djokovic to Kim Murray

WIMBLEDON is the biggest annual tennis event in the world - and that is not just because of action on the court.

The BBC's footage of the two-week Grand Slam tournament regularly cuts away to the stands where coaches, wives, girlfriends, husbands and boyfriends can be found.

The most famous members of the crowd are always easy to spot, Brit favourite Kim Murray being the most easily recognisable of the lot.

And with Britain's biggest sporting garden party in full strawberries-and-cream mode, SunSport has compiled this handy guide to the best of the tennis wives and girlfriends - or Twags - for your future reference.

Let's play spot the Twag!

Kim Murray

LET'S start with the obvious one, shall we? Kim is of course Andy Murray's wife and mother of his first child.

The couple are expecting a second child, as was revealed over the weekend, but Kim, 29, was still spotted cheering on her hubby from the sidelines as he beat Alexander Bublik in the first round yesterday.

The pair met in 2005 when she was just 17 through her father Nigel Sears, who is a tennis coach and former player.

Andy and Kim started dating and then they split up for about a year in 2009, before rekindling their romance.

And they have not looked back since, going on to get married in Dunblane two years ago and having daughter Sophia in February last year.

Jelena Djokovic

NOVAK DJOKOVIC may have had a serious wobble in form over the last 12 months.

But his wife Jelena, 31, will be his rock as he bids to win his fourth Wimbledon title.

Jelena is the director of the Novak Djokovic Foundation and the couple hold an annual charity bash that raises money for under-privileged kids in Serbia.

Ester Berdych Satorova

TOMAS BERDYCH has done all right for himself, bagging this Czech model, who jobs for the Wilhelmina agency in Miami.

And boy, does she bring some glamour to the SW19 courtside, with her piercing blue eyes watching on as hubby Tomas, 31, tries to hit some winners.

Some might say he already has.

Xisca Perello

RAFA NADAL may have appeared to be past his best, but he roared to French Open victory last month, beating Stan Wawrinka in the final.

And all through the highs and lows, Francisca "Xisca" Perello has been there for her man.

The couple have been dating for over a decade and opt to keep a low profile.

Like Jelena Djokovic, she looks after Nadal's foundation.

She prefers sometimes not to travel with her boyfriend, fearing that they would not get along if they were in each others' pockets.

Michal Navara

TENNIS stunner Dominika Cibulkova has hipster hubby Michal Navara by her side when she is on court.

The well-groomed husband, who is also from Slovakia, married the 28-year-old in a ceremony in Bratislava last year.

And the couple make the perfect team, heading around the world together with the No8 seed set to play her second round match with Jennifer Brady on Wednesday.

Marta Tornel

DAVID FERRER might be 35 but his wife Marta is certainly keeping him feeling young.

The Spaniard is set to face Richard Gasquet in the first round of the tournament today.

The pair married in Valencia in December 2015, having met through Ferrer's former coach Javier Piles in 2008.

David Lee

SPURRED on by her San Antonio basketball-star boyfriend, Caroline Wozniacki will hope to go further than her fourth-round record at Wimbledon.

The two-time US Open finalist revealed her romance with Lee, 34, on Valentine's Day this year, following her acrimonious split from Rory McIlroy in 2014.

Wozniacki recently appeared on the front of the ESPN Body Issue in a stunning photoshoot for the publication.

Donna Vekic

CROATIAN starlet Vekic was at the centre of a sexism storm two years ago after boyfriend Stan Wawrinka was sledged by Nick Kyrgios DURING a match.

In the middle of Australia's Davis Cup match against Switzerland, notorious loud-mouth Kyrgios blurted out: "Kokkinakis banged your girlfriend. Sorry to tell you that, mate."

The incident appeared to draw the couple closer together, though.

And the unfounded remarks were slated by Vekic, 21, and Wawrinka.

The Swiss said: "Every match he has problems. Every match he behaves badly.

"On top of that the problem is that he doesn't just behave badly towards himself, he behaves badly towards the people around, the other players, the ball kids, the umpires."
