Murray out of exhibition

WORLD No.1 Andy Murray pulled out of an exhibition match at The Hurlingham Club in London yesterday with a sore hip, less than a week before the start of Wimbledon.

“His hip is a bit sore,” said a spokesman for the Scot, who had been due to face.

Murray’s withdrawal was precautionary and the Wimbledon champion intended to play on Friday.

Murray’s form has been patchy during a season disrupted by shingles, an elbow injury and influenza.
