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.
It is to note that this was Murray’s first title since 2017 Dubai when he was the World No 1.
After being sidelined for much of the last two and a half years, both Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka will be hoping to win their first final since 2017.
Murray goes on to face France's world number 70 Ugo Humbert who put out Argentine fifth seed Guido Pella 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.
The confirmation will bring an end to his retirement rumours. He had hinted that 2019 Australian Open might happen to be his last Grand Slam tournament as had picked up a hip injury.
In the men's draw, Andy Murray's injury-recovery journey ended with a 6-2, 7-6 (3) loss to the tournament's No 1 seed Dominic Thiem.
