Murray withdraws from Wimbledon

Two-time champion Andy Murray has withdrawn from Wimbledon on the eve of the tournament on Sunday, saying it is "too soon" following his return from hip surgery.

The 31-year-old Briton returned at Queen's last month after almost a year out, but was beaten by Nick Kyrgios, reports BBC.

Murray, who won Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016, then took a wildcard at Eastbourne, losing to Kyle Edmund.

In a statement he said he is "looking forward" to the US hard-court season, which starts in August.

"It is with a heavy heart that I'm announcing that I'll be withdrawing from Wimbledon this year," he said.
