A pain-free Andy Murray confirmed on Wednesday he wants to return to tennis. But the Scot, who had an operation to resurface his right hip just over five weeks ago, said it is too early to know if he will able to come back.

"I want to continue playing," Murray said at London's Queen's Club on Wednesday. "I said that in Australia. The issue is I don't know whether its going to be possible.

"I'm a lot happier now than I was certainly in the last 12 month since I had the (original hip) operation.

"I have no pain in my hip anymore. I was in a lot of pain for a long time. The rehab is slow but it's going pretty well. I just need to wait and see how it's going to progress but if it's possible I'd certainly love to compete again.

Murray was unveiled as a shareholder in sportswear brand Castore, whose clothing he will wear on and off the court in a "long-term deal".

When he arrived at the Australian Open, Murray said he planned to quit tennis after this year's Wimbledon, the pain too much to cope with any longer.

But he then left the door open for a potential return and having decided to have a hip resurfacing operation on Jan 28, he is now well into his rehabilitation.

On Tuesday, Judy Murray told Sky Sports that Murray would do everything possible to come back, if he can.

"He is doing pretty well," Judy said. "It's not that long since he had the operation and time will tell. Nobody knows how he is going to recover in the longer term. He is in a good place mentally and we just keep our fingers crossed.

"But I tell you, if anybody can do it he can because he will put his heart and soul into it like he does with everything. So fingers crossed."
