ANDY MURRAY is a huge fitness doubt for his final Wimbledon after revealing he had "no co-ordination" before pulling out of Queen's with a back injury.
Asked if he will be able to play at his home Grand Slam starting on July 1, the two-time SW19 singles champion said: "I wouldn't know." Murray won his first ATP Tour match since March in the opening round on Tuesday and was back on Centre Court less than 24 hours later.
He lasted 23 minutes against Aussie Jordan Thompson before retiring with "neural pain" in his lower back.
It is the first time Murray, who had a metal hip fitted in 2019, has retired from a match since the Rome Masters 11 years ago.
He said: "I've been struggling with my back for a while. "It was pretty sore in my match on Tuesday. "I wasn't comfortable playing but able to manage it.
"The first two balls I hit in the warm-up, my right leg, I had no co-ordination. I had a loss of power in my right leg.
"It was just not working properly I couldn't move.
