Andy Murray has been ruled out of Wimbledon after undergoing spinal surgery.
The three-time Grand Slam winner retired injured in the first set of his second-round match against Jordan Thompson at Queen’s Club on Wednesday.
Sky Sports reports that Murray had scans to determine the extent of the problem which left his right leg numb just before he came out to play Thompson, and they culminated in the 37-year-old undergoing back surgery.
The 37-year-old was gearing up to play at Wimbledon, which begins on July 1, for what was expected to be his last appearance at the Grand Slam but those plans, as well as his participation at this summer’s Olympics in Paris, are in severe doubt.
