Murray is 'working towards' playing at Wimbledon and wants to make a decision ‘as late as possible’ for what could be his final appearance
Murray is 'working towards' playing at Wimbledon and wants to make a decision ‘as late as possible’ for what could be his final appearanceThis year’s edition is expected to be the 37-year-old’s last outing at SW19 before retirement, and he is desperate to say goodbye in a competitive way, even if that means playing doubles with his brother Jamie.
He added: “It’s complicated, and it’s made more complicated because I want to play at Wimbledon one more time. I want to have that opportunity to play the tournament.” Murray has already admitted he is unlikely to play tennis beyond the summer, making this Wimbledon his last chance of appearing on British soil and at a grand slam.If he cannot make it onto SW19’s hallowed turf, it is most likely he will retire at the Olympics in Paris, which starts in late July.
“But because of what I put into the sport over the last however many years, I would at least like to go out playing a proper match where I’m at least competitive, not what happened at Queen’s. But since then he has required an injection each year before Roland Garros in order to minimise the pain caused by playing in Paris, and to ensure he was not hampered during the home grass-court season, such a crucial part of his calendar.
