He was forced to have surgery on a back issue which forced him to pull out of his match at Queen's.
Andy Murray ’s status for what will be his final Wimbledon remains up in the air as the Dunblane tennis star said he would leave his entry into the event “as late as possible”.
But those efforts to make one final appearance at SW19 were thrown into major doubt after he was forced to retire just five games into his second round match at the Queen’s Club tournament due to a back injury. However, he is more optimistic about his chances of playing doubles at the event alongside brother Jamie - with that event not kicking off until Wednesday, giving Murray more recovery time and a chance of taking his place in the draw.
He said: “Maybe it’s my ego getting in the way but I feel that I deserve the opportunity to give it until the very last moment to make that decision.“I want to have that opportunity to play the tournament.”
