#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.”
