Wimbledon top seed Andy Murray has eased concerns over his fitness by returning to the practice courts ahead of Monday's opening round.
The defending champion looked to be a doubt for his home tournament after limping off the court on Friday due to an issue with his left hip.
Murray, due to face Alexander Bublik in his first outing at SW19, is now expected to play through the pain barrier as he attempts to win the competition for a third time.
Speaking 24 hours beforehand, the Scotsman was confident of shaking off the minor hip problem in time to feature.
Asked if he was on track to face Bublik, he said: "I hope so, that's the plan."
Murray has been handed a favourable opener against the lucky loser, but he may still have to overcome Dustin Brown, Fabio Fognini, Nick Kyrgios, Stanislas Wawrinka and Rafael Nadal to reach the final.
