Andy Murray Wimbledon Farewell In Doubt

Andy Murray is currently weighing participation in his potential Wimbledon farewell next week due to fitness concerns.

The 37-year-old Briton underwent a procedure for a back issue at the weekend.

Targeting a farewell at Wimbledon, the forme British Number one eyes retirement later this year.

“Following his surgery on Saturday, Andy is continuing to work with his medical team to confirm when he will return to the court,” Murray’s team said in a statement.

“At this stage, no decisions have been made and we will update further as soon as anything has been finalised.”

Wimbledon, where Murray became the first British men’s singles champion in 77 years when he won in 2013, begins on 1 July.

Before his back issue flared up at Queen’s last week, the Scot had intended to play in the singles and doubles – alongside his brother Jamie – at the All England Club.

Great Britain also selected Andy Murray for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The tennis event starts on 27 July on the clay courts at Roland Garros.

Murray, also a two-time Olympic gold medallist, said earlier in June that retiring at Wimbledon or the Olympics would be “fitting”, given his success in both events.

He had previously said he was “not planning to play much beyond the summer” but did not confirm what would be his final tournament.
