Andy Murray accepts wildcard at Nature Valley International

Andy Murray has accepted wildcard entry into the Nature Valley International at Eastbourne.

The former British number one will use the event to continue his recovery from the hip injury which kept him out of competitive tennis for almost a year.

The 31-year-old returned to the court for the first time since his layoff at Queen's earlier this week, where he lost 2-6 7-6 (4) 7-5 to Nick Kyrgios.

"It was good to get back to competition at Queen's and I'm hoping to build on that next week," BBC Sport quotes Murray as saying.

Eastbourne is the final warm-up event ahead of this year's Wimbledon.
