Andy Murray: Hip surgery revived my love of tennis

Britain's Andy Murray says "life-changing" surgery rekindled his love of tennis as he prepares to make his comeback - five months after he was seemingly set for retirement.

Murray, 32, will play doubles with Spain's Feliciano Lopez at Queen's on Wednesday.

The three-time Grand Slam champion had planned to retire because of hip pain, before having an operation in January.

"I didn't expect to be in this position," the Scot said.

"I didn't know how it would feel if I went and had the operation. But it has been brilliant, completely life-changing for me from where I was.
