Andy Murray declared himself fit and ready for Wimbledon after an exhibition match on Tuesday.

The British number one, who pulled out of the Queen's Club tournament last week with a thumb injury, said he "felt good" after beating Janko Tipsarevic 6-3 5-7 12-10 at the Boodles Challenge.

"It felt good, as I had not hit a ball for a few days," Murray said courtside following his win against the world number 40.

"I enjoyed it out there and managed to play some good tennis."

Murray added: "There were a few times when I mishit the ball that I felt it, but I was able to play for around an hour and a half out there and it felt okay."

The British number one took charge of the opening set in the exhibition match following an early break.

There was something of a scare when he slipped at the back of the court and lay motionless for a moment. But the young Scot was soon on his feet, smiling and joking to the crowd that "I am okay".

The second set was a closer affair as the Serbian number two found his range.

Tipsarevic, 24, recovered from losing his serve in the first game to fight back to 4-4 and then lead 6-5 before breaking Murray to level the match and force a final set tie-break.

Both men saved match points against them before Tipsarevic - who took Roger Federer to five sets at the Australian Open - netted an overhead volley which gave Murray a chance to clinch victory.

The Briton missed Wimbledon last year because of a wrist injury, and is clearly relishing the chance of a return to SW19 as home favourite.

He quipped: "The lack of pressure on you, that is quite nice to play with no expectation on your shoulders."

Murray added: "The support you get there is unbelievable playing on Centre Court in front of 14,000 people."
