I don't want to think about the people, about the expectation around this match. Maybe he has more pressure than me because he plays at home with your people. I played him four weeks ago on a clay court and now I will play with him on a grass court. He's the favourite player [to win] because he's better than me, and tomorrow I will try to do my best. I will have to play my best tennis to beat him. It's very difficult to beat Andy on all surfaces, but on a grass court it is more difficult."

As a result, he stays seven seconds behind overall leader Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland.

Tottenham legend Glenn Hoddle believes his former club have taken a gamble by appointing Andre Villas-Boas.

"I'm surprised, I did not think that is the way Spurs would go," he says. "It's more than a slight risk because of the way things didn't work out at Chelsea. I thought it might have been better for him to go and reinvent himself elsewhere before he had another crack at English football."

Team GB chef de mission Andy Hunt gives his thoughts on the selection of Dwain Chambers and Carl Myerscough in the athletics squad for London 2012.

"There is no two-tier team, we will absolutely treat every athlete in the same way. We'll give every athlete the same support and I expect every athlete in a similar way to commit to being part of Team GB and everything that stands up for."

On whether he was concerned other athletes might not embrace the duo in the same way, Hunt adds: "No I'm not worried about that at all. I think we've been very clear, we will embrace any athlete into the team.

"They were welcomed into the team and will be given the best support and hopefully achieve the best performance possible. I'm very happy about that."

"Now I'm just really keen to concentrate on getting back to work with the rest of the lads and concentrating on having a good pre-season and getting ready for the start of another season in the Premier League."

Team GB head coach Charles van Commenee explains the selection panel's decision not to pick Jenny Meadows for the women's 800m at London 2012.

He says: "It was very difficult because she has a proven track record, she's an absolutely world class athlete. However, she hasn't raced since the world championships in Daegu and not raced this year, and she had every intention to compete in Helsinki, but after travelling her Achilles reacted badly and she was not able to compete. That was a very important factor.

The anticipation that athletes may appeal doesn't affect any decision."

Tottenham's decision to appoint Andre Villas-Boas ends weeks of speculation following Harry Redknapp's departure and chairman Daniel Levy believes the former Chelsea manager is the right choice for the club.

"I am delighted that Andre has agreed to become our new head coach," he says. "He has an outstanding reputation for his technical knowledge of the game and for creating well-organised teams capable of playing football in an attractive and attacking style.

"Andre shares our long-term ambitions and ethos of developing players and nurturing young talent, and he will be able to do so now at a new world class training centre."

Team GB head coach Charles van Commenee has been speaking about the selection of the representative for Team GB in the women's 800m.

Lynsey Sharp is picked with 2009 world bronze medallist Jenny Meadows missing out. Marilyn Okoro, Emma Jackson and Jemma Simpson were other 800m contenders hoping to run in the women's event.

"After all the deliberation, thoughts and arguments, it was decided most important is to have the right performance at the right time," said Van Commenee. "Lots of people have the right performance at the wrong time. Lynsey Sharp has done very good business recently and performed at the trials, beat everybody, and did well at the European Championships. We decided Sharp is the one with the best current form.

"This is difficult because not one of them took control of their own destiny. They made it difficult by not doing what they were supposed to do. The panel is convinced the one selected has the best chance at performing at thee Games."

Switching back to the other breaking news this afternoon, Andre Villas-Boas has been talking about his appointment as Tottenham manager on a three-year deal.

"This is one of the most exciting coaching positions in the Premier League. I have had several discussions with the chairman [Daniel Levy] and the board and I share their vision for the future progress of the club. This is a squad any coach would love to work with and together I believe we can bring success in the seasons ahead."

Dwain Chambers, who will compete in the 100m and 4 x 100m relay, says: "It is a real honour to be selected as part of Team GB today.

"For me representing my country in an Olympics is a privilege that should never be taken for granted. To be given the opportunity to do so in my home town has been a dream that at times has seemed very distant and is now a reality.

"It is now my responsibility to prepare fully for the 100m, the relay, to support all my fellow athletes and all my other colleagues within Team GB. It is a very proud day and I thank the selectors for the confidence and faith they have placed in me."

Paceman Mark Gillespie is ruled out of New Zealand's two-Test series in the West Indies after failing to recover from an ankle injury.

Newcastle Falcons will not appeal against their relegation to the Championship.

Last week, London Welsh won their appeal against a Rugby Football Union ruling barring them from England's top flight. That resulted in Newcastle being relegated after finishing bottom of the Premiership last season.

The 30 Scottish Football League clubs meet later to discuss Scottish FA proposals that would see a Rangers newco play in the First Division next season.

Play-offs between the SPL and the First Division are also on the agenda, along with a fairer distribution of revenue.

There is plenty of transfer speculation in the newpapers. Here's a taste of today's football gossip:

Team GB will also announce the line-up for the men's road cycling team, with David Millar hoping to be included eight years after being banned from the Athens Olympics for doping.

In addition, Andy Murray continues his rain-hit fourth-round match with Marin Cilic and, less than 48 hours after Spain won Euro 2012, the 2012-13 football season starts as Northern Ireland's Linfield entertain Faroe Islands side Torshavn in the first qualifying round of the Champions League.

Good morning and welcome to Tuesday's Sportsday Live.

The waiting is over for Britain's athletes as head coach Charles van Commenee prepares to announce his team for London 2012. Thirty-three have made certain of their places by finishing in the top two at last month's trials in Birmingham, having achieved the required qualifying standard, while six more had already been selected in the marathon.

But there are still places to fill and van Commenee is expecting a "heap of appeals" from desperate athletes given bad news today.
