The 37-year-old underwent surgery on a spine cyst just last Saturday. He revealed that he intends to make the Olympics in Paris his last competition.
Reportedly, he would hold off on making a decision about playing at SW19 one final time “until the very last moment” as of Thursday.
The fact that Friday’s tie moved the Scot’s initial game to Tuesday gives him a lift in his battle against time and an extra day to try to recover.
Murray also plays his first doubles match alongside his brother Jamie, which seems to be the most likely way for him to it.
I would say it’s probably more likely that I’m not able to play singles right now,” he said on Thursday.
I spoke to my brother a couple of days ago in terms of the doubles to see if he wants to find someone else to play with, and I was obviously absolutely fine with that.
But he also wants the opportunity to try to play. We’ll see how the next few days go.
