Confusion over Murray’s Wimbledon farewell after ATP tweet saying he is out

Andy Murray's involvement in Wimbledon is now uncertain after he underwent back surgery on Saturday. Despite being previously excluded from the tournament, there is now confusion surrounding his potential participation.

The ATP, which oversees the men's professional tennis tour, announced on Sunday that the Scottish player would not be able to compete in the Wimbledon tournament. However, the Guardian has learned that a final decision on Murray's participation has not been made yet. The final determination on whether he will compete will be made later this week.

Leon Smith, who is in charge of men's tennis at the Lawn Tennis Association and coached Murray when he was young, stated on a BBC program that he also thinks a decision has not been finalized.

"He clearly had a medical treatment yesterday and now we have to wait and see what happens. As far as I know, a decision has not been finalized yet, and we are hopeful for Andy's recovery," Smith stated.

The ATP announced during Sunday afternoon that Andy Murray would not be competing in Wimbledon after having a surgery on a spinal cyst. The organization tweeted a message wishing Andy a speedy recovery and expressing disappointment at his absence from the tournament. However, the tweet was later removed, possibly due to a report in the Telegraph claiming that Murray could be out for six weeks.

The 37-year-old player wants to compete at Wimbledon one last time this summer. Unfortunately, Murray had to withdraw from his second-round match against Jordan Thompson at Queen's Club on Wednesday. He was behind 1-4 and was dealing with serious back pain throughout the match.

Murray explained that he felt weaker and had trouble controlling his lower back and right leg when he took to the court before the match. Despite dealing with back pain since his surgery in 2013, especially on clay courts, Murray admitted that this was a new and unfamiliar sensation for him.

"I've been experiencing this sharp pain in my back for the past few weeks. It's been quite uncomfortable. But today, it felt like a sudden numbness and weakness, like I had lost control and power," Murray shared during his conversation on Wednesday.

Because of his strong love for tennis, he was right there watching a young Scottish player, Charlie Robertson, compete in the LTA Wimbledon wildcard playoffs at the All England Club. Even though there is still uncertainty about his own participation at Wimbledon, Murray underwent back surgery on Saturday after receiving multiple consultations.

Murray has faced many challenges throughout his career, and recently, things have become even more difficult. After suffering a significant injury by tearing ankle ligaments during the Miami Open in March, Murray has once again found himself in a complicated situation as he reaches the final stages of his career.

In the next few days, Murray will need to make some important choices about whether he will play at Wimbledon and how much longer he wants to continue his career. Just recently, Murray was chosen to compete for Great Britain at the Olympic Games, which starts shortly after Wimbledon finishes. This could be another possible opportunity for his last tournament. We'll have to wait and see if he will be fit enough to participate in either competition.
