3-time Grand Slam singles champion Andy Murray has taken the tennis world by storm as he suffered another injury right before his home Slam, the Wimbledon. The Brit has been suffering from a series of injuries, and just as he recovered from an ankle injury, he has now suffered a back injury. 

Murray retired in the second-round match at the Queen’s Club Championships against Jordan Thompson, after suffering the injury mid-first set. He immediately pulled out and a day later, all reports seemingly confirmed his withdrawal from the upcoming Grand Slam. He underwent spinal surgery to remove a cyst and will have to recover very fast to make it on time for Wimbledon.

The 37-year-old has won Wimbledon twice, in 2013 and 2016, and had decided to possibly finish his career at Wimbledon or the Paris Olympics. Due to the injury, reports had earlier ruled him out of the Championships. Although there was no such confirmation from his team, the reports still hint at the same.

However, The Sun revealed that the Brit has not opted out of the Championships and is set to hit the courts next week in a race against time. He might be present for the games on time for his home games but as of now. Even the ATP took down their post about Murray’s withdrawal.

With either the Wimbledon or the Paris Olympics being his last-ever tournament, Murray revealed that he fears filling time when he retires because he loves tennis. However, he also strongly disagreed with becoming a television pundit afterwards. 

I’ve done it before but didn’t particularly enjoy it. Everyone agrees with each other all the time. There is no needle in the analysis and I don’t think it’s entertaining, or the best for the sport.
