Team Murray were out in force on Thursday on the Wimbledon practice courts as the world number three limbered up for Friday's semi-final against American Andy Roddick with the customary game of tennis-football.
A battery of cameras inside and outside the courts tracked every move of the man seeking to become the first British men's champion since Fred Perry won his last title in 1936.
When the Briton's fitness and recovery abilities came into question after a draining five-set victory over Richard Gasquet at Wimbledon last year was followed by a quarter-final rout to Rafa Nadal, Murray decided things had to change.
He honed his physique during the off-season in Miami with gym and track sessions.
The Miami conditioning sessions, dubbed the Winter Olympics, and including 100, 200 and 400 metres sprints, bench presses and the high jump, have turned Murray into the complete athlete.
