Tennis player Andy Murray is unsure if he will be able to compete in Wimbledon after recently withdrawing from a match in London due to a back injury. Murray had to retire from his second-round match against Jordan Thompson when he was losing 1-4. He had previously decided not to treat the right side of his back after the French Open. While most tennis players have degenerative joint conditions in their backs, Murray's issues have mainly been on his left side throughout his career, with no major problems on the right side.
There might be something that can be done about the situation, so tomorrow Murray will have an X-ray done to determine the cause of the injury. He is uncertain about what to expect since this is a new problem for him. Murray has been dealing with back pain for a long time, and it has affected his performance. He experienced pain in his back both yesterday and today, making it difficult for him to move around the court.
Murray shared that his back has been a problem for quite some time. The pain was present leading up to the tournament and persisted during yesterday's match as well as today. While he managed to cope with the discomfort, playing was far from comfortable. In hindsight, Murray now believes that he should not have stepped onto the court at all. It was an awkward situation for everyone involved, but he accepts that there is nothing he can do about it now.
