The British Andy Murray She will miss what will be her final Wimbledon after undergoing surgery for a spinal cyst that was discovered from an injury she sustained at the Queen’s tournament this week.
“After spinal cyst surgery, Andy Murray is sadly out of Wimbledon,” the ATP Tour announced on social media platform X. “Rest and recover Andy, we will miss seeing you there.”
As announced this Sunday by the British newspaper “The Telegraph”, after this spinal cord intervention the Scot will have to be out of action for six weeks, which also complicates his possible presence at the Olympic Games, which begin on July 26 .
Murray had to withdraw after five games in his Queen’s second round match against Jordan Thompson with a back problem that immobilized his right leg. The player said after the match that he had been experiencing this pain since the clay court tour, but it increased before the match and he wished he “didn’t jump on the court”.
The injury, the second major of the year after rupturing ankle ligaments in March, means Murray will miss Wimbledon. Although he hasn’t set a specific date for his retirement, the tennis player said he has no plans to play after the summer and retiring at Wimbledon or the Games would be “ideal.”
Murray is a two-time winner of Wimbledon, in 2013 and 2016, being the first Briton to lift the title since Fred Perry in 1936. In addition, on these courts he won a gold medal for Great Britain in singles at the London Games.
