Despite being the current world number one and the defending champion, Andy Murray is not a nailed on favourite for the Wimbledon title, as he came into the tournament in iffy form and is also battling a hip injury.

The Brit has struggled for consistency in 2017, having lost in the fourth round at the Australian Open, before doing well to reach the semi-finals at Roland Garros. His preparations to defend his title at this year's Championships at Wimbledon, however, were not ideal as he lost in the first round at Queen's.

In the 2017 Wimbledon, however, he has played well so far, dropping just a single set on his way to the Round of 16.
