Andy Murray has announced he is fit to defend his title at Wimbledon following a recent hip injury scare.

The world number one pulled out of two warm-up matches earlier in the week as he battled to secure peak fitness.

But on Sunday he dismissed fears he may have to pull out, saying: "I'll be fine to play the event and play seven matches."

Murray faces Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik at 1pm on Monday, in the opening match on Centre Court.
