The two-time Wimbledon winner was due to play Benoit Paire in
the first round but has decided not to risk his fitness. Murray,
31, has only recently returned to the court after an 11-month spell
on the sidelines due to a hip injury and surgery.
In a statement on Facebook, Murray said: “It is with a heavy heart that
I’m announcing that I’ll be withdrawing from Wimbledon this
year.
“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.
“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 hard court season. Thanks for all the messages of support
and I’m excited to finally be back playing after so long
out.”
Tournament organisers have announced that
“lucky loser” Jason Jung from Chinese Taipei will replace Murray in
the main draw.

Well, this is a big disappointment –
especially for him, of course. Wishing @andy_murray well and hoping we see him back to full
fitness soon and competing in the US Open later in the year.
