LONDON, June 27 (Reuters) – Former Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has resumed training after back surgery in the lead-up to the grasscourt Grand Slam but the 37-year-old said on Thursday that he would take as much time as possible before deciding on his participation.
Men’s governing body the ATP announced on Sunday in a since deleted social media post that Murray would miss the tournament but Britain’s Davis Cup captain Leon Smith said no decision had been made.
“I’m going to wait until the last minute to see if I’m going to be able to play and I’ve earned the right to do that,” Murray said in quotes shared by his management team.
“This isn’t clearcut where I’m 100% going to be ready to play or there’s a 0% chance I can play. That’s the situation. I would say it’s probably more likely that I’m not able to play singles right now.”
Murray, twice Wimbledon singles champion, hopes to play doubles with his brother Jamie at the All England Club.
