Andy Murray: "I don't feel pain"; may play Wimbledon

"In all the training and stuff that I have done so far, I haven’t had any setbacks."

Aye, from Andy Murray's own lips to his global fans' ears.

The ballyhooed Brit, who doubles as the first man to try to come back to ATP singles competition after hip replacement surgery, has a lot going for him. Great family, golf outings in spades, newfound knighthood, and an encouraging recovery to date.

The latest milestone of that road back to playing sanctioned matches came in the form of a public hitting session with Nick Kyrgios at Wimbledon this week.

Despite the Aussie's mercurial ways and words—he shared his thoughts via Instagram that Roland Garros "sucks" compared to Wimbledon, then pulled out of the event—Murray and Kyrgios remain pals. That continues even as Murray's compatriot, Tim Henman, tweaked Kyrgios over his recent statements about Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, among other factors.

Still, the shiny and truly useful headline here is four words from Murray: "I don't feel pain." That arrived in a check-in piece conducted by the UK Times' Stuart Fraser.

With that, an entire country—one looking for decidedly good news to latch onto in the Post–Theresa May Era—heaves a sigh of sweet relief.
