Andy Murray will leave a decision on his participation at Wimbledon “as late as possible” as he aims to give himself “the best chance” of making what could be his last appearance at the event.

Murray, Wimbledon champion in 2013 and 2016, had surgery on a spinal cyst on Saturday after retiring at Queen’s during his second-round match against Jordan Thompson following numbness in his right leg, with the Scot later saying he wished he had not gone on court.

 With Wimbledon beginning on Monday, Murray’s team released a statement revealing the 37-year-old had resumed training and that he is “working towards” participating, although Murray said that “it’s probably more likely that I’m not able to play singles right now.”

The statement from Murray’s team read: “Andy is recovering well from his surgery and has started training again.
