The participation of Andy Murray in Wimbledon 2024 It is being a topic that has not ceased to be in the spotlight in recent days. And next Friday will be the draw for the main draw and the British wanted to comment on how he is physically after his back problems. In statements that collect The Guardian, Murray confessed that he plans to make it to the London event even if it only has to be to play the doubles draw. What is clear is that Andy wants to return to the Grand Slam grass one last time and will do everything possible to make that happen. Furthermore, he also talked about his possible retirement there or at the Olympic Games.
Let us remember that the Briton had to withdraw from Queen’s due to his back problems, which has shaken his aspirations on this grass tour. Will you withdraw before the draw if you see that you have no chance of reaching the point? “I’m going to wait until the last minute to see if I can do it, I have earned the right to do it. It’s unclear if I’ll be 100% ready to play or if there’s a 0% chance I’ll be able to play. That’s the situation. I would say it’s more likely that he won’t be able to play singles right now. I’m also doing 24/7 rehab to try to get a chance to play there again.”Andy said.
The truth is that, at this point, it seems that Andy would accelerate his retirement due to these back problems that have already arisen after Roland Garros that have not allowed him to prepare well for the grass tour. Thus, the option to retire once the Paris Olympic Games seems closer than ever. Although rehabilitation is going better than expected after a recent operation, Murray feels that playing 5-set singles at Wimbledon is not as viable as playing in the doubles category with his brother Jamie. Still, for now, tomorrow his name will be in the draw.
“The rate I’m improving at the moment, if I continued like this, an extra 72 to 96 hours would make a huge difference. It’s complicated and it gets even more complicated because I want to play at Wimbledon one more time. I want to have that opportunity to play in the tournament and I know some people might look at that and say, ‘pulling out of a tournament at the last minute isn’t the right thing to do,’ even though it’s something that happens every week on tour. I feel like I deserve the opportunity to try to play there again and I want to have that opportunity. So I’m going to give it as much time as I can to see how well I recover.”confessed the double champion of the tournament.

Andy’s plans really did not go much further than the Olympic Games, an event that brings back such good memories for him after his two gold medals in London 2012 and Rio 2016. Thus, now that idyllic ending in Paris seems much clearer if his physique allows him leaves. And if he were not able to compete at Wimbledon or the Olympic event, Andy would reconsider saying goodbye somewhere else: “I know there are more important things in the world than how I finish playing my last tennis match or where I finish playing my last tennis match. But because of what I have invested in this sport over the last few years, I would at least like to go out and play a match in conditions where it is at least competitive, not what happened at Queen’s. So I can’t say with certainty that if I couldn’t play at Wimbledon and didn’t recover in time to play at the Olympics, I wouldn’t consider trying to play another tournament somewhere else. But if I can play at Wimbledon and if I can play at the Olympics, it will most likely be that way.”
