Andy Murray has been forced to withdraw from the singles draw at his final Wimbledon after he was unable to recover sufficiently from the back surgery he underwent 10 days before Wimbledon began.
“Unfortunately, despite working incredibly hard on his recovery since his operation just over a week ago, Andy has taken the very difficult decision not to play the singles this year. As you can imagine, he is extremely disappointed but has confirmed that he will be playing in the doubles with Jamie and looks forward to competing at Wimbledon for the last time,” Murray’s representatives said in a statement.
Murray’s preparations for his final Wimbledon had suffered a painful blow two weeks ago when he was forced to withdraw from Queen’s due to pain and numbness in his back and right leg. Murray soon underwent back surgery to remove a spinal cyst and he has been rushing to recover in time to compete in his scheduled first round match against Tomas Machac of the Czech Republic. Murray will, however compete in the doubles draw with his brother, Jamie.
The news we didn’t want to hear. Andy Murray’s injury has got the better of him and he’s out of the tournament, denying us a Wimbledon swansong in the slam he’s won twice.

Austria v Turkey (8pm)
Ralf Rangnick’s side hammered Turkey 6-1 in a friendly in March, which adds a meaty layer of context to tonight’s game. Here’s Nick Ames’ preview of what is going to be a cracking game. You have our word.
I thanked him [afterwards] for being the way he is, for caring for the group. I was certain that he would be the first penalty taker and show us the way to take victory. I think we’re all very proud of our captain. Our dressing room was all delighted. I think he gave us all a lesson. Life and football gives you difficult moments and the way he reacted shows why we are so proud in Portuguese football.

As the party asks who is to blame for the US president’s poor performance against Trump, calls grow for Biden to widen his team
When Joe Biden became engulfed in a plagiarism scandal during his first US presidential campaign in 1987, his adviser and friend Ted Kaufman was blunt: “There’s only one way to stop the sharks, and that’s pull out,” he said.
When Biden was contemplating another run for the White House in 2015, it fell to another longtime confidant, Mike Donilon, to deliver the verdict. “I caught him looking at me and gestured, What is it, Mike?” Biden later wrote in his memoir. “‘I don’t think you should do this,’ he said.”
