Two-time winner Andy Murray will not play in the singles competition at this year’s Wimbledon after recently undergoing spinal surgery, his management team announced on Tuesday. However, Murray does hope to play in the doubles with his brother Jamie, which will be his final appearance at Wimbledon. “Unfortunately, despite working incredibly hard on his recovery since his operation just over a week ago, Andy has taken the very difficult decision not to play the singles this year,” said a statement from the 37-year-old’s team. “As you can imagine, he is extremely disappointed but has confirmed that he will be playing in the doubles with Jamie and looks forward to competing at Wimbledon for the last time.” Murray had been scheduled to face Czech Republic’s Tomas Machac in the first round of the grass-court grand slam on Tuesday and was waiting until the last moment to decide whether he would play. He has been recovering from surgery for a spinal cyst having pulled out of the Queen’s Club Championship because of the back injury.
