Andy Murray Returns From Hip Surgery With a Title

Andy Murray completed a remarkable return from hip surgery by winning the Queen’s Club doubles title with Feliciano Lopez, who won the singles title earlier Sunday.

Murray spent five months away from the sport until this week. He and Lopez defeated Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury, 7-6 (6), 5-7, 10-5, in the doubles final — not long after Lopez outlasted Gilles Simon, 6-2, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (2), in the singles final.

Murray, a three-time Grand Slam champion, capped a comeback 146 days after undergoing what he hopes was career-saving hip surgery. In January he had indicated he was planning to retire after Wimbledon because of the severe pain he felt on a daily basis.
