Raducanu: Don't write off Andy's chances of playing

Murray underwent an operation to remove a spinal cyst on Saturday and is now starting his rehabilitation in the hope of making an unlikely comeback at his home Grand Slam.

The 37-year-old has made it clear that Wimbledon, which starts on Monday, and then the Olympic Games in Paris will be his career swan song, but the surgery means he might yet be denied that on-court farewell.

A statement by the ATP Tour had initially announced Murray's withdrawal from Wimbledon before that was deleted. A statement from the Briton's camp yesterday said that no decision had been made yet on his participation and he was still working hard to be fit in time to play.

Raducanu, speaking ahead of playing Sloane Stephens at Eastbourne this afternoon, said: "I think it's very easy to jump to conclusions very quickly.

"I don't know what's going on at all, but I just wouldn't believe everything that's said in the press, because a lot of the time it's not the full story at all."
