Scottish player, who won the singles title twice, had been due to play Tomas Machac on Centre Court
singles career has come to an end after a back injury forced him to withdraw from the men’s draw at his final championships on the morning of his scheduled first round match on Tuesday.
Murray’s preparations suffered a painful blow two weeks ago when the 37-year-old was forced to withdraw from Queen’s due to pain and numbness in his back and right leg. He underwent back surgery to remove a spinal cyst, which had been compressing nerves in his back.
Murray also carried the risk of reopening the wound from the keyhole surgery, although he had suggested that he was okay with assuming those risks. “From discussions that I’ve had with my surgeon and the medical experts that are around me, the biggest risk is from the wound perspective, of a reopening of the wound,” he said.
