Andy Murray: Former Wimbledon champion is 'pain free' after hip injury

Andy Murray says he is "pain free" after hip surgery but that his chances of playing singles at Wimbledon this year are "less than 50%".

Murray had hip resurfacing surgery in January - which he said meant there was a "strong possibility" he would not be able to play professionally again.

The three-time Grand Slam champion said it was the only option if he wanted to return to the court competitively.
