If you're just hearing about the British underdog who has caught Wimbledon's imagination, then there's one thing he would like you to know - he's Ollie, not Oliver, Tarvet.

"I usually only get called Oliver when my mum is annoyed at me. So you know, I try to avoid it at all costs," the 21-year-old said.

He added that when he heard "Oliver" being shouted from the stands of court four during his first-round victory on Monday, it made him think he had "done something wrong".

The fans could be forgiven for not knowing - after all, he is the world number 733 making his Grand Slam debut.
