The 37-year-old will wait on a scan, with Wimbledon two weeks away.
ANDY MURRAY ’S WIMBLEDON swansong looks in serious doubt after he was forced to retire from his second-round match at the Queen’s Club Championships with a back injury.
Murray was clearly in pain during the warm-up and his right leg and hip seemed to buckle underneath him as he served for the first time in the match. Advertisement He tried to play on but was eventually forced to call it a day, shaking hands with Thompson at 4-1 down before exiting a stunned Centre Court, upon which he has been crowned champion a record five times, for probably the last time.
“During my pre-match warm-up I was pretty uncomfortable and then I walked up the stairs, just before going on the court, I didn’t have the normal strength in my right leg. It was not a usual feeling,” he said.
