- Two-time champion had back surgery last weekend
- Murray feels he has ‘earned right’ to make late decision
Andy Murray believes he “deserves” a chance to compete at Wimbledon for a final time but he will wait until the very last moment to decide on his participation after returning to training and taking positive steps forward during rehab in the aftermath of his back surgery on Saturday.
“The rate that I’m improving just now, if that was to continue then an extra 72 to 96 hours makes a huge difference,” said Murray on Thursday. “It’s complicated, and it’s made more complicated because I want to play at Wimbledon one more time. I want to have that opportunity to play the tournament and I know that some people might look at that and say, withdrawing from a tournament late at the last minute or something like that isn’t the right thing to do, even though it happens every single week on the tour.
