THE work of the first lady of Scottish and British tennis is never done.

On the Saturday before Wimbledon, Judy Murray is in a tent at the Royal Highland Show at Edinburgh, preaching the virtues of Set4Sport, the programme she dreamed up for parents to develop their children's crucial developmental skills, such as hand-eye co-ordination and balance.

This truly is one of her babies: in the course of the last two years, with the backing of sponsors RBS, it has gone from a book and website to an app for iPad and iPhone, and after discussions with the Scottish Government, is well on the way to informing wider physical education strategy for children of nursery and early primary school age in Scotland, via a pilot scheme in the council areas of Stirling, and Perth and Kinross.

From today, however, the evangelist-in-chief for tennis in this country will be all over the All England Club, flitting from this court to that as she slips seamlessly into her other existence as GB Fed Cup captain. With seven British women in the main draw – all have been dealt a fearsome hand – Murray will attend as many opening-round matches as possible. She will be at it again in the second week with the junior girls, donning yet another hat for a competition which will include debuts for highly rated young Scots Maia Lumsden and Anna Brogan – long-time family friends who were invited by the Murrays to the recent Queen's club final.

It is only once all that is out of the way that she might just be able to concentrate on more parochial matters; namely her oldest son's attempt to land another doubles title, and her youngest's epic quest to become the first player from these islands in 77 years to land the Wimbledon singles title.

"I have got quite a lot going on," Murray admitted. "I've been with the British girls a bit over the last couple of weeks on the grass-court warm-up tournaments so I'll be able to watch all of them in the first couple of days, then I'll do two days the following week with the junior girls. They all have their own coaching teams so I don't need to be at every match but I will certainly be there to support them and the juniors in their opening matches. After that, I will be stressing about my own family."

Murray makes recommendations for wild cards which are put forward to the All England Club committee, but that is as far as her decision-making influence at Wimbledon reaches. You might have guessed as much from an almost uniformly brutal first-round draw for the British women. Laura Robson, now working with one-time Team Murray member Miles Maclagan, plays No.10 seed Maria Kirilenko, of Russia, Heather Watson's route back from glandular fever goes through the highly rated Madison Keys, Johanna Konta must tame a previous world No.1 in Jelena Jankovic, while Elena Baltacha, the Kiev-born Scot, takes on Italy's Flavia Pennetta for the dubious privilege of a crack at Viktoria Azarenka in the second round. It doesn't get much easier for Anne Keothavong, Samantha Murray and Tara Moore, either.

"Nearly all of them have very tough openers," Murray said, "but Laura has a good record against the top players on the big courts and the big occasions. Kirilenko is top 10 but if Laura serves well and plays with confidence, she has a very good chance of doing well. This is Miles' first venture into the women's tour so it will be interesting to see how he copes, but he has loads of knowledge and is very calm.

"Heather has a tough match and is not quite back to her best – she has good days and bad days – so let's hope she has a good day. Johanna has Jelena Jankovic which again is very, very tough but will be great experience. Anne plays a Spaniard more used to the clay while for Tara and Sam on wild cards it will be their first Wimbledon."

The other core element of Murray's existence, of course, is her ceaseless lobbying for improved tennis facilities – lowly courts in public parks as well as headline items like the proposed Park of Keir tennis and golf centre announced with Colin Montgomerie. "I have always wanted to have my own base to work from," she said. "I have been travelling for years now, ever since I was Scottish national coach then, obviously, with the boys. The participation bit is of more interest to me than developing another Andy, because I have seen what has happened. He has been at the top of the game for five years now, and it hasn't really made any difference in terms of facilities in the country."

The multiple demands on Murray's time are such that there has been a natural step back from the more hands-on elements of Andy's career. "I can give my thoughts when they ask for them and I do speak to Ivan from time to time about different things in Andy's game," she said. "But he is the boss, that is for sure."
