please log in to view this image Britain's Andy Murray began the defence of his Wimbledon title with a straight-set win over Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik on Centre Court. The Scot won 6-1 6-4 6-2, despite a hip injury which disrupted his build-up. Murray, the world number one, hit 29 winners and maintained his form either side of a rain break in the third set to win in one hour and 44 minutes. The 30-year-old will face Germany's Dustin Brown - the man who beat Rafael Nadal in 2015 - in round two.
I do like Christian O'connell's Murray send up on absolute radio. The piss take of his mam is great too.
Murray just said that he didn't realise he was limping, seems to be saying he is not feeling any discomfort.
Actually I found it quite interesting what he said. He said he's not in that much pain. Which suggests he's in some. Although I guess that might be a thing he just lives with but ignores like a lot of sportsmen. Have to be a bit mental to be at the top of most sports.
Cut to the chase, who are the best looking birds in it. They don't usually last long in the comp like.
And yet when I did this I'm asked to leave the municipal courts, my racquet is confiscated and my balls are forcibly removed from my person. #doublestandards
