Wimbledon is just around the corner, with much of the build-up to the tournament set to focus on Andy Murray.
The two-time winner is very likely set to play at the famous competition for the final time, with the Scot set to retire from tennis later this summer.
He is doing his best to get in shape for the London-based major, although he did suffer a disappointing defeat on his return to grass at the Stuttgart Open.
Particularly struggling with breaking serve, Murray suffered an opening round exit to Marcos Giron, losing 6-3, 6-4 to the American.
In more positive news, however, the three-time Grand Slam winner has explained that everything is feeling better since his return to the grass.
Wimbledon organisers have ‘plans in place’ for Andy Murray
Wimbledon has been home to many iconic Murray moments over the years, with the Scot twice lifting the trophy there.
He also clinched Olympic gold on the grass-court in the English capital, with tournament organisers now planning a grand farewell for their beloved star.
As reported by Sky Sports, Wimbledon have ‘plans in place’ to pay tribute to Murray, with organisers set to be guided by what he decides about his retirement.
The plans are adaptable and ready to get underway at short notice, with organisers having held talks with members of his team.
Can Andy Murray end his Wimbledon journey on a high?
It has been a remarkable career from the Scot, who has 46 singles titles to his name and once reached number one in the world.
He is Great Britain’s most successful player of the Open Era, with a major highlight arriving as he became the first British player to win the Wimbledon men’s singles title for 77 years with his 2013 glory.
The trophy went his way once more in 2016, with the Scottish star also winning the 2012 US Open and Olympic gold in both 2012 and 2016.
Regardless of what happens, his legendary status at Wimbledon and elsewhere has already been achieved, with Murray more than deserving of a proper send off next month.
The game will be worse off without his presence, with an even longer honours list denied only due to the presence of Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
