Andy Murray, a two-time Wimbledon champion, expressed uncertainty on Sunday about his ability to participate in the forthcoming grass-court Grand Slam event despite feeling progressively better following spine surgery.

The 37-year-old tennis star is slated for the first round of singles at the All England Club come Tuesday, alongside a wild-card doubles entry with his brother Jamie. Murray underwent back surgery on June 22 after experiencing significant discomfort from a cyst pressing on a nerve, which had impaired his leg function.

As Murray awaits further medical tests and plans another practice set for Monday, his final decision hinges on these assessments. This medical predicament adds to his history of injuries and surgeries, including hip operations and ligament tears. Fellow 37-year-old champion Novak Djokovic, recovering from knee surgery, has declared his readiness for Wimbledon.
