Andy Murray withdraws from exhibition match with hip problem

The world No 1 was scheduled to play Lucas Pouille in the Aspall Classic at the Hurlingham Club to get some more practice after his shock first-round exit to Jordan Thompson at Queen's last week.

However, the defending Wimbledon champion has now decided to withdraw as a precaution due to the niggle, with his management describing his hip as 'a bit sore'.

Murray is expected to play on Friday, however, as he attempts to turn around a poor start to the 2017 season, where he has only won one tournament so far following a bout of shingles and an elbow problem.

Rafa Nadal and Tomas Berdych are also featuring at Hurlingham before they head to the All England Club on Monday, July 3, where Murray is due to open proceedings on Centre Court at 1pm.
