Wimbledon fans will be desperate to see Andy Murray take part in the iconic competition one last time before his retirement.
The 37-year-old is set to hang up his racket later this year, bringing the curtain down on his illustrious career.
The Scot has 46 titles to his name, including three Grand Slam titles, two of which were won at Wimbledon.
The other came at the US Open, but constant injury issues have unfortunately disrupted his time on the court in more recent times.
Such issues are undoubtedly playing a key role behind his imminent retirement, with Murray forced to withdraw from his latest tournament due to a back injury.
Andy Murray shares US Open update ahead of Wimbledon
Queen’s fans were certainly disappointed to see the Brit bow out of the competition early, with the veteran retiring from his second round match against Jordan Thompson with a back problem.
His focus now turns to Wimbledon and subsequently the Olympics, with Murray saying his recovery from his latest setback is going ‘really well’ as the next Grand Slam approaches.
The three-time major champion has now provided fans with an update on his potential presence at the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year at the US Open.
“Obviously I’ve had the conversation with my family,” said Murray, as quoted by the Express. “And I have a family holiday booked the week after the Olympics.
“I’m not planning on going over to New York. But then I also don’t want the last time that I played on a tennis court to be what happened at Queen’s either, and again I know that there are more important things in the world than how I finish playing my last tennis match or where I finished playing my last tennis match.
“But because of what I put into the sport over the last however many years, I would at least like to go out playing a proper match where I’m at least competitive, not what happened at Queen’s.
“So I can’t say for sure that if I wasn’t able to play at Wimbledon, and I didn’t recover in time to play at the Olympics that I wouldn’t consider trying to play another tournament somewhere.
“But if I’m able to play at Wimbledon and if I’m able to play at the Olympics, that’s most likely going to be it, yeah.”
Can Andy Murray stay fit for Wimbledon and the Olympics?
Murray is running out of time to make a decision on Wimbledon, where tournament organisers are planning a tribute regardless of what happens to him in London next month.
The main draw for the competition gets underway on July 1, kick-starting a potentially busy period for the Scot.
An appearance at Wimbledon will hopefully be followed by a run at the 2024 Paris Olympics at the end of July and start of August.
That switch from grass to clay is then followed by a move to the hard courts, with the US Open set to get going at the end of August.
Whatever the near future holds for the former world number one, Murray will go down as one of the all-time greats, leaving a lasting legacy on the sport.
