India vs New Zealand Test Squad. World Cup Points Table. This story is from June 26, British favourite Murray, Wimbledon champion in and , has not played a singles match at the All England Club since and has also undergone two hip surgeries. But the year-old returns as a wildcard this year hoping to turn back the clock and show he can still compete at the highest level.
Murray beat Federer to win the Olympic gold medal on Wimbledon's Centre Court, a few weeks after losing to the Swiss in the Wimbledon final. They have contested matches on the world's biggest stages, but Murray said hitting with Federer this week made him realise how great it was to be back on the Wimbledon lawns.
They're the sort of things that probably like six, seven years ago I wouldn't have given any thought to it," Murray told reporters. When I take a step back from that, as a tennis fan, getting to play with Roger Federer two days before Wimbledon, it's really great. I haven't had the opportunity to do that sort of stuff over the last few years.

It was still an attempt at limbering up for the duo. It is not often that Roger Federer and Andy Murray practice together. On the court, there was the silky-smooth touch of the ball from the Federer racket. The backhand slices carry their usual backspin, the forehands hit with precision from varying heights and struck at different angles.
And then there is the gorgeous single-handed backhand which deserves lyrics written after it. It contacts the ball flush from the middle of the racket. There is little scope for a mishit. There is enough back swing to prepare for the oncoming ball and the contact is with precision, finesse, and little fuss. Having never witnessed it, one would imagine that is how Leonardo Da Vinci went about his art.
He labours around, the shot-making feels more hard work. It has the fight or flight approach. You would find the dogged resistance from this part of the court.
What you would find from both sides of the net, though, is the desire to keep going, to keep striving, and to vie for titles again. Both men have been through plenty of physical duress over the years. And yet here they are, fighting, competing, and challenging for trophies. What keeps them going? I think some of it is deep-rooted. It's just been something that I've done my whole life.
