Andy Murray set to partner Feliciano Lopez in Queen’s doubles as he returns to competitive action

Andy Murray will make his competitive return to the court in doubles at the Fever-Tree Championships at Queen's Club.

Murray will play with the Spanish veteran Feliciano Lopez at the tournament, which begins on June 17.

The three-time grand slam champion underwent career-saving hip surgery in January after playing what he admitted could have been his final professional match at the Australian Open.

The 32-year-old has been back in training for a number of weeks, with his progress sufficient enough for him to commit to a comeback.

Murray is not yet in a condition to return to singles action but it bodes well for a future comeback to the tour that he already feels able to play competitive matches.

The Scot underwent a resurfacing operation on his left hip after an earlier arthroscopy failed to alleviate the pain that had dogged him since the summer of 2017.
