Andy Murray has clearly made up his mind. The former world number 1 was giving himself plenty of time to decide whether or not he was going to play. Wimbledon 2024. His deadline was this Friday morning and the draw for the men’s singles draw. Good news, the winner of three Grand Slam tournaments, including two Wimbledonwas still registered at the time of the draw and is included in the table. Operated on last weekend to treat a cyst on the spine, Murray will start his tournament against Tomas Machac. In which state ? It’s hard to be optimistic but Andy should at least show up on court and appear one last time in “his” Grand Slam tournament.

Andy Murray’s crazy week
The last week of‘Andy Murray was trying. Last Friday evening, his entourage explained thatAndy, hit at Queen’s, was to undergo surgery to treat a cyst on his spine. On Sunday afternoon, the British media outlet ‘The Telegraph’ announced the Scottish player’s withdrawal for Wimbledon. L’ATP shared it before deleting his post. The next day, the player’s mother, Judy Murray dotted the “i’s”. Nothing was therefore decided, as explained Murray himself via the official website of Wimbledon. “I’m going to wait until the last minute to see if I can do it and I’ve earned the right to do it. It’s not clear if I’ll be 100% ready or if there’s a 0% chance I’ll be able to play. This is the situation. I would say it’s more likely that I won’t be able to play singles at the moment.
“I would like to at least play a real match where I would be at least competitive”
Passion has probably taken over reason for Murray, which will bow out this summer. Probably at the Paris Olympics. “I have no intention of going to New York (for the US Open). But I also don’t want the last time I play on a tennis court to be what happened at Queen’s, and I know there are more important things in the world than how I finish my last tennis match or where I finish my last tennis match. But because of what I’ve put into this sport over the last few years, I’d like to at least play a real match where I’m at least competitive, not what happened at Queen’s. I can’t say for sure that if I wasn’t able to play Wimbledon and I didn’t recover in time to play the Olympics, I wouldn’t consider trying to play another tournament somewhere. But if I can play Wimbledon and if I can play the Olympics, that’s most likely it.
