Andy Murray is fighting to be fit for Wimbledon, but the former champion admits he could still be forced to pull out. Murray is scheduled to play in his first round tie against France's Benoit Paire on Tuesday. But the former world number one, who was crowned Wimbledon champion in 2013 and 2016, is making slow progress in his return from hip surgery in January. Murray has played just three matches since last year's Wimbledon, winning one of his three matches on grass at Queen's and Eastbourne over the last two weeks.

The 31-year-old is encouraged by his improving performances and has been practicing at Wimbledon for the last few days. But he is still experiencing some discomfort on court and is far from the form that made him a three-time major winner. Asked if he could withdraw from Wimbledon, Murray told BBC Radio Five on Sunday: "Yes, it is still possible. I am taking it literally each day. Some days I feel better than others.
