ANDY MURRAY has pulled out of his singles match at Wimbledon today after failing to recover in time from surgery.
There has been a long will he, won’t he debate since withdrawing from Queen’s and then undergoing surgery to have a spinal cyst removed.
It has been a race against time to be fit for what he says will be his last appearance at Wimbledon before finally calling time on his illustrious career at the Paris Olympics.
Murray had been given until the last minute to make a decision over his participation by Wimbledon bosses.
But he finally made the call this morning and, after failing to recover in time, will no longer face Tomas Machac, instead vacating his spot for a lucky loser.
Wimbledon and Centre Court in particular have become synonymous with the 37-year-old’s career where he won Olympic gold at London 2012 and twice became Wimbledon champion — in 2013 and 2016.
