“It’s been a very tough ten days since Queen’s. I’ve had a back operation that’s not at all insignificant. I’ve tried to do everything I can to be able to play this tournament. I don’t know if it will be enough. I’ve been training in the last few days, today I played one training set and things went pretty well.
I still don’t have the feeling of being 100%, especially due to the leg problem. The situation is improving, but tomorrow I will play another set and carry out some tests. I’ll probably make a decision this afternoon.” Andy Murray he is trying to use all the time available to him to make the final decision; a decision that is not easy for many reasons.
The former world number one would like to have the chance to play on the Center Court for the last time Wimbledonwhere he achieved his most important successes and won two of the three Slams he won in his career.
Back surgery has complicated his plans, but his desire is clear.
Andy Murray: “I’ll decide tomorrow. I’d like to play Wimbledon for the last time”
“I have no back pain, which is very good.
The problem is that I had a rather large cyst that was compressing the nerves, causing me to lose a lot of control in my right leg. I hope all the work will be enough to be on the pitch on Tuesday. What will determine whether I can play or not will be the state of my leg.
With each passing day it seems more likely that he will be able to play. It is impossible to provide confirmation. I don’t want to experience the same situation as Queen’s, where I took the field, I felt strange and I couldn’t compete”, explained Murray in the press conference.
“Doubles with Jamie? I’ve already talked about it with my brother, we are aware of the situation. It’s not easy for my family either, all the people close to me want to see me play here again, we’ve overcome all this together.
What drives me to try? The opportunity to play here again, probably for the last time. This is a place where I have experienced great moments in recent years. We have experienced the retirements of Serena Williams e Roger Federer.
Rafael Nadal she has spoken openly about all her problems… Everyone has an idea of how they want to end their career: my idea is that it happens at Wimbledon. Of course there is also the Olympics, but I would like to have the opportunity to play here one more time.
I’m looking for a worthy conclusion and then turn the page. I want to play on Center Court and feel that adrenaline again.”
