LONDON -- Wimbledon's Centre Court on Monday will be full of knights with sore hips, but only one of them will be running about on the grass rather than sitting in the Royal Box.
And while Sir Andy Murray's progress to the second week of Wimbledon is now something of a tradition, given that it has happened for 10 consecutive years, Johanna Konta -- a mere 'Miss' for now -- is promising to be a new British tale of the unexpected at the All England Club.
Both have endured some hairy moments in the past week, with Murray almost going to a fifth set against Italy's Fabio Fognini in the third round and Konta taking more than three hours to defeat Croatia's Donna Vekic in the second round.
But both have survived, and as they play their respective fourth-round matches on Monday -- there is a double bill of 'Le Crunch' with Murray meeting Frenchman Benoit Paire and Konta to face Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia -- expectations could be about to jump.
We are now potentially a week away from what would have once been unimaginable, even to the most committed of British racket-heads, but which the public is now discussing as a real possibility: the home double.
In this most excitable of atmospheres - -in modern times, this is new for British tennis -- Murray and Konta could help each other by sharing the attention and the spotlights in the business-end of The Championships.
For both British players, this is unexplored territory. True, Murray has extensive experience of playing in the white heat of the tournament's second week and, after success in 2013 and 2016, has ambitions of putting himself level with Fred Perry, John McEnroe, Boris Becker and Novak Djokovic on three titles.
But never before has he had to deal with such soreness in his hip at the All England Club, or played Wimbledon as the world No.1 or indeed as a 'Sir'. Perhaps having Konta around will help. If Murray ends up sharing the British public's attentions, that's not going to do his tennis any harm.
Konta reached the semi-finals of last year's Australian Open, But, for a British player, there's a world of difference between playing in the second week at Melbourne Park and doing so at her home Grand Slam, especially as Konta keeps being reminded of how it's been 40 years since a British woman, in Virginia Wade in 1977, last won Wimbledon.
Writing in a column in the Mail on Sunday, former Great Britain Davis Cup captain John Lloyd said: "Though Konta seems to have turned a corner where the pressure is concerned, I think she could do worse than speak to Andy Murray and Tim Henman about how they embraced being in this situation, playing in front of fans who desperately want the Briton to win.
"The players have coaches to help with that sort of thing, and there's psychological help around, too. But her coaches haven't been there. They don't know how it feels to be playing trying to deal with expectation in your home Grand Slam. It could be Konta's Wimbledon if the pressure really doesn't get to her. We're halfway through but I think she could still make the phone call to Murray or Henman and have that chat."
On top of everything else that Konta has to deal with, the bookmakers have been saying there is more chance of Konta winning the women's singles title than Murray retaining the men's.
Some have been listing Konta as the favourite for the Venus Rosewater Dish, while putting Murray behind Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Djokovic for the men's singles title. But, in the absence of the pregnant Serena Williams, almost anything is possible in the women's game -- as we saw at Roland Garros last month where an unseeded 20-year-old Latvian, Jelena Ostapenko, took her first major.
For Konta, winning Wimbledon could bring an additional prize: a damehood.
