Eastbourne: Andy Murray takes wildcard at Nature Valley International

Britain's Andy Murray has accepted a wildcard into Eastbourne as he continues his comeback after almost a year out with a hip injury.

Murray, 31, made his competitive return on Tuesday at Queen's, where he lost in three sets to Nick Kyrgios.

The three-time Grand Slam champion said afterwards he was unsure of the best way to continue his return.

The Nature Valley International at Eastbourne is the final warm-up event before Wimbledon begins on 2 July.

Former world number one Murray had surgery on his right hip in January and has since fallen to 156th in the world rankings.
