Andy Murray is confident he is making good progress in his battle to return to tennis following surgery on his hip.

The three-time grand slam champion has not played competitively since exiting Wimbledon at the quarter-final stage last July, and he has since lost his British No.1 ranking to Kyle Edmund.

However, Murray underwent surgery earlier this year and is targeting the beginning of the grasscourt season in June to make his comeback.

On Wednesday he posted an image from his latest training session, the Scot writing on Instagram: "Chasing down another @aidymchugh error today during practice #progress #hip #unforced #youngpup"
