Battle of the Brits: Scotland v England tennis event off, James Ward retires

The Battle of the Brits - an exhibition organised by Jamie Murray and featuring Andy Murray - has been postponed because of rising coronavirus cases.

The men's team event between Scotland and England was set to take place in Aberdeen on 21 and 22 December.

British number one Cameron Norrie was set to play alongside the Murrays for the hosts, with Dan Evans leading the English side.

"We are all gutted but some things are bigger than tennis," said Jamie Murray.

"This is incredibly disappointing for all of us organising the event, for the players and, most importantly, for the fans who wanted to come and watch us.
