Andy Murray Withdraws from Wimbledon Singles, Focuses on Farewell Doubles

Posted : 02 July 2024

Andy Murray, a two-time Wimbledon champion, has withdrawn from the singles competition in what will be his final appearance at the prestigious tournament, citing recovery challenges from recent surgery to remove a spinal cyst affecting his right leg's control and power. Despite intensive efforts since the operation, Murray's management team confirmed his decision to focus solely on the doubles event alongside his brother Jamie.

 

In a statement, Murray's team expressed his deep disappointment over missing out on singles play but affirmed his commitment to competing in the doubles and bidding farewell to Wimbledon on the court. Originally scheduled to face Czech player Tomas Machac in the singles, Murray's withdrawal marks a poignant moment in his illustrious career, which includes ending Britain's 77-year wait for a men's singles champion at Wimbledon in 2013 and securing another title in 2016.

 

Murray had hinted earlier about potentially retiring after this season, possibly culminating at the Paris Olympics later this month, where the tennis events begin on July 27. His decision follows a recent injury setback during the Queen's Club Championships, where he withdrew during a match against Jordan Thompson due to worsening discomfort from his ongoing recovery. This setback followed complications from his participation in the French Open and a previous ankle injury sustained at the Miami Open earlier this year.

 

Despite successfully returning to competitive tennis after hip-resurfacing surgery in 2019, Murray has faced challenges in advancing to later stages of major tournaments in recent years. His decision to focus on the doubles at Wimbledon marks a poignant conclusion to his singles career at the tournament where he achieved significant milestones.
