Nothing is ever straightforward where Andy Murray is concerned.
Indeed, even the Scot’s support in what was probably going to be his last Wimbledon has formed into a ‘will he, won’t he’ adventure in the midst of clashing reports about his possibilities getting back from back a medical procedure in time.
All Britain Club bosses are still ready and waiting to respect the double cross hero, who is supposed to affirm his retirement sooner or later this mid year.
It is not yet clear assuming that choice has been rushed by the back injury he endured at Sovereign’s Club preceding his second-round match against Jordan Thompson.
Ever the contender, in spite of having lost “strength and dexterity” in his right leg, the 37-year-old endeavored to play the match, at last being compelled to tapping out after five difficult games.
