Andy’s Wimbledon Farewell in Jeopardy After Queen’s Club Injury!
Andy Murray’s potential participation in this summer’s Wimbledon Championships has come under fresh doubt following his premature exit at the Queen’s Club due to injury.
The three-time Grand Slam champion was forced to retire from his round-of-16 match against Jordan Thompson at the Cinch Championships, trailing 4-1 in the first set. This withdrawal granted Thompson a walkover into the quarter-finals.
Murray, who had triumphed over Alexei Popyrin in three sets just a day earlier at Queen’s, appeared visibly uncomfortable during his brief appearance in West Kensington. He received early medical attention courtside, focusing on his back, right hip, and right knee.
Despite attempting to continue, Murray ultimately decided to end his participation after only five games. He received a warm ovation from the Queen’s crowd, likely marking his final appearance at the tournament where he holds the record for the most titles won — five singles and one doubles over his illustrious career.
These latest injury setbacks raise serious doubts about his ability to compete at Wimbledon, where he was expected to play, potentially for the last time, when the Championships commence on July 1.
Murray, a two-time Wimbledon champion, famously ended Great Britain’s 77-year drought for a British men’s singles title in 2013 and added another Wimbledon crown in 2016 alongside his 2012 US Open victory. He is anticipated to retire from professional tennis later this summer after a 20-year career.
Despite being named in Team GB’s squad for the upcoming Olympic Games in Tokyo, Murray’s participation remains uncertain. This uncertainty also extends to his potential involvement in the Paris tournaments, especially in men’s doubles, following his teammate Dan Evans’ retirement due to a knee injury suffered during his first-round match at Queen’s.
