Andy Murray's team says his participation at Wimbledon is still yet to be decided. Murray retired from Queen's last week, giving Jordan Thompson a walkover in the second round after struggling with an issue in his right leg, which he said "was not working properly". Wimbledon, the third grand slam of the year, starts on July 1.

Andy Murray is yet to make a decision on his Wimbledon participation after undergoing a medical procedure on his back.

A statement from his team read: "Following his surgery on Saturday, Andy is continuing to work with his medical team to confirm when he will return to the court.

"At this stage, no decisions have been made and we will update further as soon as anything has been finalised."

The Brit was forced to retire from his Queen’s round-of-16 tie with Jordan Thompson last Wednesday, lasting just five games as he was unable to move freely around the court.

On the injury, Murray later said: "I have dealt with back issues for a long time, for the last 10 years or so, and it’s probably quite common for a lot of players.

"But I have never had that loss of coordination, loss of control, strength in the leg before."

It was later revealed that Murray would undergo a “procedure” in a bid to fix the issue, which took place on Saturday.

After recent comments that he would prefer to retire at either Wimbledon or the Olympic Games, the tournament in south-west London has been seen as the possible scene for Murray’s last competitive outing.

But fans will now have to wait to hear the 37-year-old’s next move. His previous grand slam outing came at the French Open, where he crashed out in the first round to Stan Wawrinka.
