Andy Murray makes a winning return in first game since hip surgery
Former world number one and three-time grand slam winner Murray is making his tentative comeback from what he hopes was career-saving hip surgery in the doubles at the Fever-Tree Championships.

"I'm really fortunate to be playing tennis again. I absolutely love playing on this court, it's a brilliant place to play.
"I felt quite relaxed in the build-up, but we said as we were walking on to the court that we were starting to feel a bit nervous. But you need those butterflies."
