#ANDYMURRAY

Concern for Andy Murray grew after the world No.1 limped during a warm-up match. The Scot is due to appear at Wimbledon next week.

@Bbcsport tweeted; “Uh oh… Andy Murray appears to be limping. Or is it all part of his Wimbledon masterplan?”

@Sportradio­me reported: “Judy Murray has allayed fears Andy Murray could miss Wimbledon.”

@winner5515­q said: “Don’t think you’ll be playing Andy Murray. Looks like he’s not gonna make it.”

@Kaylotty43 complained: “It’s only taken me 10 years to get Wimbledon tickets. I do hope Andy Murray is going to be at the quarter finals!”

@Mackdonald­makom commented: “Andy Murray has been drawn to play Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik. The world number 134 reached Wimbledon as a ‘lucky loser’.”

#HONGKONG

It’s exactly 20 years since Britain handed the city to China. Many on Twitter looked back at the last two decades as the Chinese President visited the city.

@Bloomberga­sia said: “Life in Hong Kong is harder than ever – unless you’re a tycoon”

@Sociallife­ny tweeted: “Believe in the motherland, China’s leader tells Hong Kong people – and respect its might.”

@timsent remarked: “Back in Hong Kong after spending the week in China. The city is buzzing with excitement about the 20th anniversar­y celebratio­n tomorrow.”

@lalauraru7­77 said: “China has been flexing its military muscle in Hong Kong during President Xi’s visit.”

#SAMESEXMAR­RIAGE

German politician­s have voted to make same-sex marriage legal just days after Chancellor Angela Merkel dropped her opposition to it.

@meddynyt tweeted: “Germany approves marriage for same-sex couples, though Merkel said she voted against, still sees marriage as man-woman bond.”

@evanoconne­ll cheered: “Great news: German MPS vote by clear majority to legalise same-sex marriage. Welcome to the 21st century, Germany.”

@Martinshul­z added: “Progress is possible. As the 23rd country on earth, we now have marriage equality in Germany. I’m happy for all the married couples to-be.”

@blinkisdea­d sobbed: “I’m still crying about the fact that Germany legalised same sex marriage.”
