- Player’s mother reacts to stories about operation on cyst
- Leak was ‘by someone you thought you could trust’
Judy Murray has hit out at her son Andy’s medical details being leaked to the media “by someone you thought you could trust” and reiterated that the two-time champion is not yet out of Wimbledon.
The 37-year-old’s participation in the tournament starting next Monday was mired in confusion on Sunday after he was prematurely ruled out. The governing body of the men’s game, the Association of Tennis Professionals, reported that Murray was “sadly out of Wimbledon” after undergoing back surgery on Saturday. However, the post on X was promptly deleted and it later transpired it was posted on the back of a report in the Telegraph, which suggests Murray will be out for six weeks following a procedure on a spinal cyst.
