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.
"If there's an increased risk that we as a sport are going to make things worse then absolutely they shouldn't have the event", the 33-year-old said.
Meanwhile, before the nationwide lockdown was imposed, Andy Murray had returned to the court after suffering another injury-enforced gap.
The 32-year-old Andy Murray has not played a competitive match this year due to bone bruising near the site of his surgery.
The pair have played a number of matches over the years that have decided Grand Slam titles, the latest of which included the 2020 Australian Open final and the epic 2019 Wimbledon final.
Murray had said before the 2019 Australian Open that he could be retiring after the tournament after his struggles with injury.
