I wanted to sleep on it and make sure I was happy with the decision, and also give myself a chance when I woke up to see if I felt better. In the morning I corso a little at home when I got up but I didn’t have the feelings I would have liked.
I worked very hard to give myself the opportunity to play and yes, it was the right decision“.
Andy Murray: “I’m disappointed because I wanted to play the tournament”
Murray who has retired from singles while he will play the double with brother Jamie he continued: “I’m disappointed.
I wanted to play in the tournament. I wanted to have the chance to step onto Center Court and give it another try. But I would only do it if I felt I could compete and I didn’t. I wanted that moment too, both for myself and for the people who have supported me over the years, the fans but also my closest friends, family, my team, it was important for me to do the same with them.
But no timing it wasn’t the best, the surgery was complex. It just wasn’t meant to be“.
