A few days ago, there was confusion over Andy Murray‘s participation at the Wimbledon Championships. Murray injured his back during his second-round match of the Queen’s Club Championships and had an operation on his spinal cyst.

Then reports started circulating that Murray withdrew from his possible last Wimbledon, and it would take him six weeks to recover. But his mother, Judy Murray, took to X to declare that the decision has not been made yet. Now Murray has decided to shed light on the condition of his injury and said that he is working hard and is doing everything to recover before Wimbledon.

I am trying everything I can to play. I'm practicing on the court, I'm rehabbing, and trying to accelerate this process to give myself a chance to play. It has been mentioned to me, that are you going to withdraw before the draw at 10 am on Friday? And I'm like: ‘Well, no, I'm not. I'm going to wait until the last minute to see if I'm going to be able to, and I've earned the right to do that.

Murray is 6–12 on the season with no titles. The former World No.1 currently stands at 115th position in the ATP Rankings.

Andy Murray may play another tournament if he doesn’t participate at Wimbledon and the Olympics

If the Queen’s Club Championships turns out to be the last tournament Andy Murray played, he wouldn’t like that. He wants to have a proper run at a tournament where he will be competitive unlike what happened at Queen’s. The 37-year-old has made it clear that if he has to pull out of Wimbledon as well as the Olympics, then he cannot guarantee that he won’t be reaching New York for the US Open.

So I can't say for sure that if I wasn't able to play at Wimbledon, and I didn't recover in time to play at the Olympics, I wouldn't consider trying to play another tournament somewhere. 
Andy Murray said 

Murray revealed that he has already started practicing and did not feel much pain. But as the nerve injuries take time to heal, he doesn’t know when he will recover completely. 

Murray is a three-time Grand Slam champion, winning a US Open and two Wimbledon titles. He also won Olympic gold in 2012 and 2016 in singles matches.
