Andy Murray Pulls Out of Exhibition Match at Fulham's Hurlingham Club

Says he "needs to rest" ahead of Wimbledon due to hip problem

Andy Murray has pulled out of a second exhibition tennis match, due to be played today, Friday 30 June at Fulham's Hurlingham Club, because of a continuing hip problem.

The tennis champion, who is number one seed at next week's Wimbledon, also pulled out of an earlier match during the Aspall Tennis Classic which is an annual event at the private Fulham club,and which attracts the world's top players.

In the past, Andy has said of the Tennis Classic: " It’s the perfect way for me to warm up for Wimbledon - there’s always a great atmosphere and the setting is absolutely stunning."

Yesterday however, he said:"Sadly I won’t be ready to play at the Hurlingham Club. My hip is still sore and I need to rest."

Andy also suffered what he described as  "big blow" earlier this month when he was defeated in the first round of the Aegon Championships at the Queen's Club.

His coach, Ivan Lendl, said he was "not at all" concerned about the hip injury and Andy is now set to defend his title at Wimbledon, which begins on Monday.

Fans can watch Wimbledon on a giant screen in Hammersmith's Lyric Square, and final matches will also be shown on the Big Screen on the Green on Parsons Green on 14 - 16 July.
