Andy Murray arrived at Wimbledon this morning having not practised since Tuesday - pulling out of two exhibition matches in the process - because of a sore hip. At around 9.30am, his coach Ivan Lendl told the BBC that Murray was "doing great" and after 10am the defending champion began hitting with Belgium's Steve Darcis on the Aorangi Park practice courts.

The pair moved over to match court 9 at 11:00 BST, in full view of the media and ground staff. Murray looked reasonably comfortable as he and Darcis exchanged groundstrokes, but in between he limped heavily, bent over and grimaced.

The world number one then took part in some volleying and serving drills, appearing to reach close to full intensity. He continued to move gingerly and grimace, but he did not hold back. Between serves he was seen joking and smiling with Lendl, who also spent a period in deep conversation with Wimbledon chief executive Richard Lewis.

Murray left without taking any questions from the written or broadcast media. He is due on court for the third time back at Aorangi Park at around 13:00 BST.

Michael Turner. Remember him?

He's now been pictured at the airport by the Southend Echo, external ready to fly on League One side Southend United's pre-season tour of Spain.

Thoughts now from Huddersfield boss David Wagner, who has signed a two-year contract extension. Still no classical music-based puns you'll be pleased to hear, although he does appear to be dancing to his own tune here.

"I don't have to play a role at this football club. I can be exactly the man that I am," he says. "We will have to adapt to the Premier League, but we will not change our footballing philosophy. That makes no sense."

Sprint king Usain Bolt believes his German doctor Hans-Wilhelm Mueller-Wohlfahrt will fix the world record holder's back problems in time for his swansong at August's world championships in London.

Bolt will see his long-time physician after suffering a stiff back in the build-up to his 100m run at the Ostrava Golden Spike meeting on Wednesday, which he won in a, by his standards, modest 10.06 seconds.

"I am going to see my doctor now so I know he will fix every problem," Bolt told reporters. "Then all I need to do is train hard and get myself into some shape."

The 30-year-old Jamaican is not one for stress.

The Irish Premiership's top two teams are both claiming to have signed former York City defender Josh Robinson.

Belfast clubs Linfield and Crusaders made announcements on Twitter late on Thursday announcing the capture of Robinson, who is 24 and from the city.

Robinson spent one year with York after joining them from Crusaders.

Linfield stated the player had agreed a four-year deal, while Crusaders said he had signed a three-year contract which had been recorded with the Irish FA.

The matter is likely to be sorted out on Friday with clarification being sought from the IFA.

It is understood Robinson trained with the Crusaders squad on Tuesday night.

But we are none the wiser...

Caroline Wozniacki looks like a force to be reckoned with here at Eastbourne, having already broken Heather Watson's second service game in this semi final. The British number two's frustration is written all over her face.

Having said that, Watson has found some amazing shots down the line and keeps pushing her opponent on every point. She is not going to let Wozniacki take this without a fight...

Some of that money could go on Derby County's former England Under-21 winger Tom Ince, who is set to sign for the Terriers, report our colleagues at BBC Derby Sport.

The Rams have rejected a bid of about £7m for the 25-year-old.

But last season's Championship play-off winners are understood to be prepared to go closer to Derby's £10m valuation.

Ince joined the Rams for £4.75m in July 2015 after a loan spell, and has played in the top flight with Blackpool, Crystal Palace and Hull City.

It has been a busy day at Premier League newcomers Huddersfield and here are some thoughts from chairman Dean Hoyle, who is delighted manager David Wagner has agreed a two-year contract extension.

"We'll stay humble; we've got to remember who we are. We're here for the first time in 45 years on merit. Being realistic David could have gone to the Premier League had that penalty not gone in. Happily we achieved it together

"David has remained loyal to the club and that means a lot to me. He hasn't signed earlier because he's been on a sun bed!

"We are going to spend more money than this club has ever done and give it a good crack."

He snapped his putter and threw it into a pond, before his mother wades in to fish it out for him.

I know Broadchurch is popular with tourists, could all those enthusiasts have made 2,000 tonnes of rock slip 150ft near where the TV drama series is filmed at West Bay, in Dorset?! It has created a new hazard for the local golfers in any case.
