Andy Murray's participation in Wimbledon and the Paris Olympics is in serious doubt following his recent withdrawal from the Queen's Club tournament and subsequent surgery for a spinal cyst. The former Wimbledon champion retired midway through his second-round match against Jordan Thompson, leading to an emergency operation. Murray's camp is reportedly unhappy about the premature leak of his surgery details. Despite the surgery, Murray is hoping to recover in time to hit balls later this week, although medical experts suggest a six-week recovery period, making his Wimbledon appearance unlikely. The ATP initially announced his withdrawal from Wimbledon, but the tweet was later deleted, adding to the confusion surrounding his fitness and final decision. His farewell plans are now in disarray, and his Davis Cup captain Leon Smith has confirmed that Murray has not yet made a final decision on his Wimbledon participation.
