(Reuters) - World number one and defending Wimbledon champion Andy Murray is using daily ice baths and extra exercise to strengthen his sore hip and maintain his fitness throughout the SW19 event. Murray suffered an injury scare in the week before Wimbledon as he pulled out of two exhibition matches at Hurlingham due to a sore hip sustained during his French Open semi-final loss to Stan Wawrinka in June. "My team have given me a few different exercises to do during the day when we're together, and also at home in the evening," Murray wrote in a column for BBC. "The bottom line is that Andy has had precious little rest since his crazy finish to last year. Murray remains focussed on preparing for his second round match against an "unpredictable" Dustin Brown on Wednesday.
