Andy Murray, marking his 16th singles appearance at Wimbledon since his debut in 2005, is aiming to compete once more.
Andy Murray is pushing to regain fitness for Wimbledon, aiming for closure at the All England Club before retiring later this year. The two-time champion, aged 37, faces uncertainty due to a back issue that required surgery, casting doubt on his participation in singles. Murray, currently ranked 115th globally, will decide on Monday whether he can compete in both singles and doubles, with plans leaning towards doubles.
“I’m not fixated on one outcome. As it nears the end, maybe closure,” Murray reflected, having won Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016. “I just want one last chance to play there, hopefully on Centre Court, and feel that excitement.”
Last year, he hadn’t anticipated it being his final tour year, eager to return. This year, retirement plans are definite. If unable to play singles, Andy Murray might partner with his brother Jamie in doubles. Despite a recent surgery to remove a cyst near his spinal cord causing nerve pain in his leg, Murray feels improvements daily but lacks full sensation in his leg.
Following his first Wimbledon practice since the surgery on Saturday, he continued on Sunday, playing a practice set with Jack Pinnington-Jones. “It’s improving daily. I’m giving it every chance to recover fully,” Murray stated, planning further tests and another set the next day before deciding on his participation.
