LONDON — Andy Murray, one of the last decade's most successful male tennis players, has pulled out of the singles tournament at what is almost certain to be his last Wimbledon, his team confirmed Tuesday. The Scottish star, 37, who has won the Wimbledon singles title twice and the U.S Open once, has been battling to be fit to play at the All England Club for weeks.
The news caps a glittering career on the ATP singles tour, which placed Murray at number 1 in the world for 41 weeks. He was in the top 10 male players in the world for almost 10 years, from July 2008 to October 2017. For a time, the media included Murray in the so-called 'Big Four' group of players, along with Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
