LONDON: Former Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has resumed training after back surgery in the lead-up to the Grand Slam but Murray on Thursday that he would take as much time as possible before deciding on his participation.

The ATP announced on Sunday in a since deleted social media post that Murray, 37, would miss the tournament.`I`m going to wait until the last minute to see if I`m going to be able to play and I`ve earned the right to do that, Murray said in quotes shared by his management team. `This isn`t clear cut where I`m 100% going to be ready to play or there`s a 0% chance I can play.

That`s the situation. I would say it`s probably more likely that I`m not able to play singles right now.Murray, twice Wimbledon champion, hopes to play doubles with his brother Jamie at the All England Club.

Following a victory over Alexei Popyrin at the Queen`s Club Championships in his 1,000th tour-level singles contest, Murray withdrew due to injury during his match against Jordan Thompson last week. Murray was diagnosed as having a spinal cyst and wastold to have surgery immediately.

`I was given multiple different timelines for how long [recovery] would take and was also made aware that if I decided to try to play Wimbledon there`s some risk associated with that. It`s whether or not I`m willing to take that risk. But also even with there potentially being a risk, I`ve had the operation and it has gone really well.`-Reuters
