Andy Murray made a successful return to action after six months out following hip surgery as he partnered Feliciano Lopez to a first-round doubles win at the Queen's Club championships on Thursday.
He is readying to play at Wimbledon, but has been turned down, quite politely, by Ashleigh Barty.
He says in his BBC blog “she said no because she is already playing in singles and doubles, so didn't want to play in three competitions.”
He also says of his injury: “Because of how professional sport is, you end up telling everyone you're OK and you're feeling a bit better. But you're not.
You say things like that to try to sound optimistic and not tell everyone how much you're struggling.
I might have had to play against those people asking me how I was, so I wasn't going to tell them that my hip was killing me and then play them the following day.”
I for one am delighted he is returning to Wimbledon as I am a massive Murray fan, so I will be watching the doubles and cheering him on.
It’s sad that I’m unlikely to see him as Wimbledon champion once more.
