ANDY MURRAY remains hopeful of playing at Wimbledon – but admits it is unlikely to be in singles.
The 37-year-old, who confirmed he is planning for the Olympics in Paris to be the final event of his career, had surgery on a spinal cyst on Saturday after experiencing weakness in his right leg during a second-round match against Jordan Thompson at Queen’s Club. Murray called it a day after only five games and revealed he had no choice but to go under the knife. “Obviously the last week’s been pretty tough,” said the Scot.
“I don’t know exactly how long it’s going to take for the nerve to get to a stage where I’m able to compete or play, whether that’s three days or whether it’s three weeks or five weeks. It’s impossible to say.” The draw for the singles is on Friday morning, with matches starting on Monday, and Murray is happy to give himself as much time as he can to make the decision.
