Andy Murray to make final Wimbledon decision on Tuesday

Andy Murray will make a final decision on Tuesday regarding his participation in the Wimbledon singles, scheduled to begin later that day. The 37-year-old Briton, who recently had a cyst removed from his back, is set to play against Tomas Machac.

Murray, a two-time Wimbledon champion, is giving himself as much time as possible to determine his fitness for what he plans to be his farewell appearance at the tournament. If he decides he is not fit enough for singles play, he might still compete in the doubles event with his older brother, Jamie Murray, later in the week.

In a statement after his practice session on Monday, Murray said: “I’ll have a chat with my team, speak to my family this evening and make a decision. It’s getting better and the testing I’ve done has been good. I just need to decide whether it’s enough to compete.”

Murray, who intends to retire later this year, is eager to find “closure” at the All England Club. The former world number one had the cyst removed because it was causing nerve pain in his right leg. Although the area of the operation is no longer sore, he mentioned on Sunday that he still lacks full feeling in his leg.
