Jeux Olympiques Murray Queens Wimbledon

It's one of the big questions at the start of Wimbledon: will Andy Murray line up in the singles?

As a reminder, the former world number 1 suffered a back injury (cyst) at the Queen's tournament, and quickly underwent surgery in order to be able to compete not only at Wimbledon, but also at the Olympic Games.

Although the initial prognosis was clearly against him, things seem to be settling down. Questioned on the subject, the Scot explained that he had given himself a little more time to reflect: "I've had a complicated ten days since the Queen's. The back operation wasn't a big deal. The back operation was not insignificant. I've done my utmost to play here. I don't know if that will be enough. I've been training for the last few days and I played a set today (Sunday).

It went well, but I still haven't got all the feeling back in my leg. It's getting better every day.

I want to give myself every chance of succeeding. I'm going to play another set tomorrow (Monday). I'll be doing some physical tests in the morning to see where I stand and I'll certainly make a decision tomorrow evening (Monday).

I no longer have back pain, which is great, but I had a big cyst compressing my nerves, which caused me to lose some control of my right leg. It's a bit like falling asleep on your arm.

When you wake up, it's like having a dead arm. But it lasts longer, and it's impossible to know when you'll regain full sensation. For some, it takes months. For others, weeks."
