Andy Murray 19-year Wimbledon singles career has come to an end after a back injury forced him to withdraw from the men’s draw at his final championships on the morning of his scheduled first round match on Tuesday.
The two-time Wimbledon singles champion was due to play Tomas Machac of the Czech Republic on Centre Court, but after leaving the decision to the very last moment he was unable to sufficiently recover from the back surgery he underwent 10 days ago. Murray has confirmed that he will compete alongside his older brother, Jamie, in the men’s doubles this week and the Paris Olympics will be the final tournament of his career.
