ANDY MURRAY REFLECTS ON HIP INJURY AS HE CRASHES OUT OF WIMBLEDON.

Ten days ago it would have been no surprise to learn that one Briton would make it through to the Wimbledon singles semi-finals but few would have guessed that player would be Johanna Konta rather than Andy Murray.

However, 24 hours after Konta reached the last four here for the first time in her career, Murray suffered one of his most unexpected Wimbledon defeats when he was beaten 3-6, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1, 6-1 by Sam Querrey, the world No 28. Murray had never previously lost at Wimbledon to an opponent ranked lower than No 19 in the world.


Querrey, a fine grass-court player who knocked out Novak Djokovic here 12 months ago, grasped his chance in emphatic fashion, but the 29-year-old American also took advantage of the hip injury which has been troubling Murray throughout this grass-court season and finally caught up with him here.

The world No 1 started well enough, but from the middle of the second set onwards he was in increasing physical discomfort and by the end there was often a grimace of pain on his face.

Kola Abiola Speaks On His Marriage To Babangida’s Daughter (Read full gist)

Kola Abiola, the eldest son of Late Chief MKO Abiola, has finally spoken on his alleged marriage to Aisha Babangida, the eldest daughter of Nigeria’s former Military President Gen. Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB). IBB and MKO Abiola were friends until the latter contested and won the June 12, 1993, presidential election, but the former would later cancel the election. Their relationship went sour, but before the annulment, Kola and Aisha were allegedly dating. At a time, it was speculated that they secretly got married. Rumour-mongers said the marriage failed after IBB annulled the election of MKO Abiola, which the late business mogul convincingly won under the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
