Andy Murray and his brother Jamie Murray have been given a wildcard to compete in the doubles category at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships. It could be a fairytale finish for Andy, who looks likely to hang up his racket this year and could be in action at his home Grand Slam for the last time. 

Although they have not taken part in the doubles at Wimbledon before, older brother Jamie Murray won the mixed doubles title here back in 2007 (partnering Jelena Jankovic) and 2017 (partnering Heather Watson).

Andy Murray is set to compete in both singles and doubles in what is expected to be his last Wimbledon appearance. Since the start of the season, the Brit has hinted that this would be his last year on the ATP tour.

He is currently making a comeback from injury after picking up a back issue at the Queen’s Club Championships. Immediately after that, he picked up an ankle injury and has been recovering from the same since.

Now, with only two weeks left for Wimbledon, his participation in the grass Slam is yet to be confirmed.

I’m 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.

He is not the only former champion who has yet to decide on his participation at the event, with Novak Djokovic also rather uncertain about his competing at SW19 this year. He is expected to provide clarity on the subject in the near future.
