The double Wimbledon champion posted a video of himself getting together with a wall behind an outdoor court on Instagram, with the caption: "It's a start".

Murray, winner of three Grand Slam titles, had hinted at his retirement before stepping out of the Australian Open in the first round in January while he was struggling to deal with the lingering pain related to a long-standing hip problem.

At the time, he confessed that the operation could end his career, but that it would also allow him to enjoy a better quality of life.

However, since he has resurfaced, he has expressed with cautious optimism his future in the sport, the star of the double Bob Bryan having recovered from a similar injury to return to professional tennis. Murray is described as "pain free," but has rated his chances of competing at Wimbledon this year to less than half.

Murray seemed ready to retire after his defeat at the Australian Open against Roberto Bautista Agut.

Addressing CNN in March, Murray explained that he had nothing to prove but that he wanted to extend his career for his own pleasure. "I want to try to see if it's something I'm able to do," he said. "[Tennis] m brings happiness and I like it a lot.

"If I can, I will try, it is not necessary to prove anything to anyone, to try to obtain a result or to try to Wimbledon again is not about it – it's about doing something that I like to do and not being in pain while I do it.

"I am much happier than certainly two months before the operation," he added, evoking the hip resurfacing operation suffered in January. "I do not hurt my hip anymore, I have been in pain for a long time.

"Rehabilitation is slow and it's going pretty well, I just have to wait to see how things are progressing, if it's possible, I'd love to compete again."
