In his latest BBC Sport column, Andy Murray discusses how his time out with a career-threatening hip injury allowed him to discover art and led to some 'disastrous' attempts at painting and pottery. The Scot also talks about the emotions of his competitive return to Wimbledon and his men's doubles partnership with Pierre-Hugues Herbert.

My wife Kim is a talented artist and paints and has canvasses, oils and acrylics, so one night I gave it a go. That developed my interest in art and I learned a bit about it, by going to galleries and exhibitions and then chatting to friends about it. There is a lady called Maggi Hambling, a British painter and sculptor, who I like - she is best known for landscapes and seascapes.I haven't been to many galleries, so I wouldn't say I've got a favourite gallery in the world, and I've not been travelling much while I've been injured.
