Andy Murray's Wimbledon Hopes in Limbo Amid Injury Concerns

Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray is uncertain about competing in the upcoming tournament due to recent injuries. His management states that while he is recovering and training, a final decision will be made later. The 37-year-old Murray had surgery recently but aims to participate in Wimbledon and the Paris Olympics.

Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray remains undecided about his participation in the upcoming grass-court Grand Slam tournament starting next week. His management company emphasized on Thursday that "he is working towards that."

The 37-year-old Murray may be nearing the end of his professional career, suggesting this could be his final season before retirement. Having battled a series of injuries in 2024, he recently underwent back surgery after withdrawing from a match at a preparatory event.

"Andy is recovering well from his surgery and has started training again,'' read a statement from Murray's representatives on Thursday. However, they noted it is too early to definitively confirm his participation in Wimbledon, although efforts are being made to maximize his chances.

The All England Club tournament kicks off on Monday, with singles draw schedules to be finalized on Friday. Murray initially planned to play at Wimbledon followed by the Paris Olympics starting July 27 at Roland Garros. He was forced to stop during his second-round match at Queen's Club last week due to back pain.

A three-time major champion, Murray's accolades include the U.S. Open 2012 title, and Wimbledon titles in 2013 and 2016 — the latter making him the first British man to clinch the singles trophy at Wimbledon in 77 years.

He notably holds two consecutive Olympic gold medals in singles, won at London 2012 and Rio 2016. The tennis star underwent two hip surgeries in 2018 and 2019, receiving a metal hip implant in the second one; though he initially feared retirement, he made a resilient return to the tour.

Ever since, Murray has faced numerous injuries, including tearing left ankle ligaments at the Miami Open in March, and he suffered a first-round exit at the French Open in May.
