Injury rules Andy Murray out of Wimbledon

by June 29th, 2017

World number one Andy Murray has pulled out of a second Pre-Wimbledon exhibition match at London’s Hurlingham club on Friday due to a sore hip.

Wimbledon starts on Monday and the reigning champion had added the matches to his schedule to gain grasscourt practice after a surprising first-round exit from last week’s Aegon Championships at Queen’s club.

The 30-year-old, a two times winner at Wimbledon, has been on patchy form during a 2017 season that has been disrupted by shingles, an elbow injury and influenza.

Murray pulled out of a first match for the same reason on Tuesday.
