Milos should be hoping to land in Murray's part of the draw as Andy pulled out of an exhibition match to rest a sore hip.

LONDON — Andy Murray has pulled out of another exhibition match ahead of Wimbledon because of a sore hip.

The top-ranked Murray was scheduled to play at the Aspall Tennis Classic at the Hurlingham Club in London on Friday but says he needs to rest his hip. He withdrew from an exhibition match against Lucas Pouille on Tuesday with the same problem.

Wimbledon draw is out - Denis is in the top half with Andy Murray, while Milos and Vasek are in the bottom half. Vasek has a tough opening round match against Dominic Thiem, while Denis has a good chance to move into the 2nd round as he faces Jerzy Janowicz.

Also, Francoise Abanda and Bianca Andreescu are in the main draw on the ladies side joining Genie.

Tough luck for Denis today as he ran into a hot serving Jerzy Janowicz and lost the match in four sets (6-4, 3-6, 6-3 7-6(2))

Abanda through in straight sets 6-2, 6-4. Could get Ostapenko in the second round which would be intriguing.

I thought Francoise played very well today, solid ground strokes from both wings.

This Wawrinka - Medvedev match is very entertaining.

Stanimal will have to go five sets to win this opening round match.

Nick Kyrgios: Looks like I'll be the highest seed eliminated today.

Stan Wawrinka: Hold my beer.

Genie looking like 2014 Genie as she wins the first set 6-1

[Resolute 14]

Starting the second set looking like 2015-2017 Genie.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Looking like a bagel and a third set coming.

[Resolute 14]

Genie is a player hoping to make shots playing against an opponent expecting to make them.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Good chance by the end of the summer that Abanda is ahead of Genie in the rankings. Genie will be back to qualifying for majors if she doesn't turn it around.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Man she got stomped.

Milos with a nice win earlier today (straight sets) to move onto round 2. Two tie-breakers in the three set win, but he hasn't been as automatic in tie-breakers this year as in the past.
