British tennis legend Andy Murray will decide on his participation in Wimbledon "as late as possible" after undergoing back surgery last week.
Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has been ruled out of the upcoming Wimbledon after undergoing a surgical procedure to remove a spinal cyst, the ATP said on Sunday.
This follows his unfortunate withdrawal from the Queen's Club Championships earlier this week, where a back injury forced him to retire after only five games against Australia’s Jordan Thompson in the second round.
In the process, Murray has made history after becoming the first British tennis player in the Open Era to have played 1000 ATP tour-level matches.
The former world No. 1 is a two-time Olympic singles gold medallist (2012 London and 2016 Rio)
“I just didn’t play that well,” Murray said. “You need to be right on it and I wasn’t today. I wasn’t playing at the highest level.
Andy Murray, former world number one men's singles player, had tested COVID-19 positive last week shortly before he was set to fly out to Australia.
"We welcome Andy back to Melbourne with open arms," tournament director Craig Tiley.
The French Open, which was originally scheduled to start in May but had to be moved back because of the outbreak of novel coronavirus, is slated to be played from September 27 to October 11.
