Bye Wimbledon: the unfortunate news about Andy Murray that impacts tennis
In the last few hours it was learned that the Scottish tennis player, Andy Murray, made a drastic decision and will not be in one of the most important events of the year. The player underwent back surgery and will therefore miss Wimbledon.
The news was announced by the ATP this Sunday through social networks. “After surgery on a spinal cyst, Andy Murray was sadly left out of Wimbledon,” the ATP said on the X social network. “Rest and recover Andy, we will miss seeing you there.”
Following a victory over Alexei Popyrin at the Queen’s Club Championships in his 1,000th match on the singles circuit, Murray retired injured while trailing 4-1 in the first set of his second-round match against Jordan Thompson on Wednesday. The problem was aggravated by Murray’s participation in the French Open and leaves the former world number one out of Wimbledon, where he won two of his three Grand Slam titles.
Murray, 37, breathed new life into his career after undergoing hip surgery in 2019, but has struggled to advance to the latter stages of major tournaments and recently had to deal with an ankle injury suffered in the Miami Open in March. The double Olympic gold medalist had previously said it was unlikely he would continue playing next season and it would be a fitting end to his brilliant career to retire at the All England Club or the Paris Games.
