initially that wasn't enough as roberto bautista agut gave him the run around, taking the first two setsnd leaving murray limping. but then somehow he fought back, fist pumping points as if a grand slam was at stake. incredibly he took the next two sets on tie—breaks until eventually, the pain and his opponent was too much. afterwards he told us he still struggling to decide if major hip surgery is the right route to help him make it to wimbledon. it is difficult because i always wanted to finish playing at wimbledon, if tonight was my last match, like you said, it would be a great way to finish. it was an amazing atmosphere, it was a really good match against a quality opponent. but then yeah, there is a bit of me that... obviously, i love playing. i want to keep playing tennis but i can't do it with the hip i havejust now. not surprisingly his fans don't want this to have been his swansong. epic. yeah, it was. it was like seeing opera or something like that. it was just emotional, i think, to watch. i don't think it is going to be his last game though. he's left you hanging? yes, total

the wimbledon champion is taking on spain's roberto bautista agut in the first round.watch. it's tinged with sadness, because i do think that it will be andy's last time at a grand slam. so i'm just breaking my heart. i have to be there to witness this event. fantastic player. i'm excited. i'm looking forward to the game. but a bit nervous as well, yeah. massive fan of andy murray. andy murray comes from dunblane and we only live 20 miles apart back in scotland. i've come all the way. came to brisbane, came to melbourne. i'm cheering on andy murray. come on, andy! yeah, it's going to be hard for him. mentally, he's probably in a weird place and physically, he's not comfortable with his body. but he's got enough quality that if he turns up and plays his best game, he hopefully can get through to the next round. if he wants to do the ceremonial appearance and one last bow in front of this crowd, i understand it. i don't know if he would want to turn up and just be a bit part player or whether he will want to be in with a chance to do something special. that would be his

and in tennis, andy murray is set to face the spanish 22nd seed roberto bautista agut in his first round at the australian open. good morning and welcome to the bbc news at nine. the car manufacturer jaguar land rover is due to announce this afternoon it's cutting around an eighth of its workforce in the uk. the firm is expected to say up to 5000 jobs are to go from its 40,000 stong workforce. it's believed posts in management, marketing and administration will be hardest hit, although the bbc understands that some factory staff may be affected. the lay—offs are part of a £2.5 billion cost—cutting plan due to a downturn in chinese sales, a slump in diesel sales and concerns about competitiveness in the uk after brexit. our business editor, simonjack, has the details. jaguar land rover has enjoyed a great run for nearly a decade, but recently it's come to a shuddering halt. today's lay—offs are part of a £2.5 billion cost—cutting plan designed to combat a perfect storm facing the uk's biggest car maker. sales in what was the company's biggest market, china, have fallen nearly 50%, as cons

but against roberto bautista agut, the 22nd seed from spain, andy murray really has his work cut out,on the men's tour this year. so with andy murray does lose today it is possible it will be his final match. as you heard, he would then much like to play at the wimbledon championships, but i don't think he can continue as a fully fledged professional between now and then. he is considering having a second operation to improve his quality of life, and that may possibly still allow him to play some sort of role in the grass courts in the uk summer. the those he don't know, gives a history of the hip injury he sustained? at the end of 2016, we thought he still had the world at his feet, even though he was approaching his 30s. he had just become the world number one for the first time, he won that second olympic gold medal in rio de janeiro, he won a second wimbledon title in july. x janeiro, he won a second wimbledon title injuly. x months later he was close to reaching another french open final in paris was up —— six months. yet that was the last fully competitive match we saw him play.

that troublesome hip was soon being giving the runaround — roberto bautista agut taking the first twos getting painful. but boldly, brilliantly, murray began to drag himself back. his mum loved it, and so did most of melbourne. the third set went to a tie—break, and guess what? commentator: he's got it! suddenly it was like old times, and even better was to come — as murray edged another tie—break to make it 2—2. was this remarkable career in for another remarkable chapter? well, it wasn't to be, as his fitness finally faded and bautista agut triumphed. but murray was far better than most had expected, and as he tried to control his emotions, the question everyone was asking — is this the end? well, murray's been forced to concede he now faces two options — take four months off and prepare for a possible final appearance at wimbledon, or undergo surgery which will dramatically increase the quality of his life, but will run the risk of never being able to play professional tennis again. it is difficult because i always wanted to finish playing at wimbledon. if tonight was my last match
