With the opening day of Wimbledon 2017 only around the corner, World Number one Andy Murray has pulled out of yet another exhibition game due to injury.
The defending champion pulled out of a planned warm-up match at London’s Hurlingham Club due to a hip problem this week.

Murray has also spoken about the need to improve his game after suffering a shock first-round defeat to Jordan Thompson at Queen’s Club this month.
“This tournament has given me great preparation in the past. When I have done well here, Wimbledon has tended to go pretty well, too. But, if I play like that, I certainly won’t win Wimbledon.”
Wimbledon gets underway on Monday morning and runs until the finals weekend on July 15 and July 16 at the All England Club.
Murray is first on Centre Court and will play again on Wednesday if he wins his first-round clash.
However, if his hip injury doesn't clear up over the weekend, we might be seeing a new champion this year.
