Tennis star Andy Murray has pulled out of Wimbledon, which is set to kick off tomorrow (July 2).
The 31-year-old tennis sensation, who won Wimbledon back in 2013 and again in 2016, posted the upsetting news in a note on his Facebook.
“It is with a heavy heart that I’m announcing that I’ll be withdrawing from Wimbledon this year,” Andy wrote. “I’ve made significant progress in practice and matches over the last ten days, but after lengthy discussions with my team, we’ve decided that playing best of five set matches might be a bit too soon in the recovery process. We did everything we could to try to be ready in time.”
If you don’t know, Andy underwent hip surgery back in January.
Andy continued, “I will start practising on the hard courts from tomorrow and continuing with my rehab and recovery and I’m looking forward to the US hardcourt season….Thanks for all the messages of support and I’m excited to finally be back playing after so long out.”
