Andy Murray to make decision as late as possible on farewell appearance at Wimbledon. However, he “most likely” won’t be able to play singles next week.
The 37-year-old Briton has returned to training after undergoing surgery for a back problem at the weekend.
The former world No. 1 who won two of his three Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon plans to retire at the end of this year. Therefore, the interest. “I’m going to wait until the last minute to see if I’ll be able to play and I’ve earned the right to do that,” Murray said.
“It’s not clear if I will be 100% ready to play or if there is a 0% chance. I would say that most likely I won’t be able to play singles.” Before his back problem flared up at Queen’s last week, the Scot had intended to play singles and doubles, alongside his brother Jamie, at Wimbledon.
The doubles draw will begin on Wednesday, but Murray could play later in the week, giving him more recovery time.
“Maybe it’s my ego that gets in the way, but I feel like I deserve the opportunity to give myself until the last moment to make that decision,” he said. “It’s complicated, and it gets even more complicated because I want to play at Wimbledon one more time.”
