Murray, who plans to retire later this year, underwent surgery 10 days ago to address a back issue.<\/p>\n<p>The 37-year-old, who won Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016, was scheduled to play Tomas Machac of the Czech Republic on Centre Court on Tuesday. Murray had to retire from his match against Australia&#8217;s Jordan Thompson at Queen&#8217;s on June 19 due to a back problem. Shortly after, he had a cyst near his spinal cord removed, which had been causing nerve pain in his right leg.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udc94 There will be no final Wimbledon singles appearance for Andy Murray&#8230; but he is still planning to play doubles with his brother Jamie.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BBCTennis?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#BBCTennis<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Wimbledon?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#Wimbledon<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/85KFVNIf8a\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/85KFVNIf8a<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BBC Sport (@BBCSport) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BBCSport\/status\/1808067232200601790?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">July 2, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Despite the setback in the singles competition, Murray remains determined to participate in the doubles event, aiming for one last memorable performance at Wimbledon before his retirement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Britain&#8217;s Andy Murray has withdrawn from the men&#8217;s singles at Wimbledon, but he is still expected to compete in the doubles event alongside [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":484843,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[17769,17072],"news_category":[16714],"gn_keywords":[18110,6273],"acf":{"announce":"He is expected to play in the doubles event","video":[]},"rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_robots":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_facebook_title":"","rank_math_facebook_description":"","rank_math_facebook_image":"","rank_math_twitter_title":"","rank_math_twitter_description":"","rank_math_twitter_image":"","rank_math_snippet_shortcode":"","rank_math_primary_category":"","rankmath_seo":{"focus_keyword":"","description":"","title":"","canonical_url":"","robots":"","facebook":{"title":"","description":"","image":""},"twitter":{"title":"","description":"","image":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/484842"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=484842"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/484842\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":484844,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/484842\/revisions\/484844"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/484843"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=484842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=484842"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=484842"},{"taxonomy":"gn_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gn_keywords?post=484842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
