Andy Murray, a two-time Wimbledon champion, withdrew from the singles competition due to fitness issues after recent back surgery, but will still compete in doubles with his brother Jamie at Wimbledon. Despite his desire to make a final singles appearance at Wimbledon, the 37-year-old Murray had to concede his inability to participate this year. Murray's decision to retire after the Paris Olympics adds poignancy to his last Wimbledon appearance. His history of injuries, including a cyst removal from his back, has impacted his ability to compete at the highest level in singles matches, prompting this transition to doubles only.
