Murray a Wimbledon doubt after injury forces him to retire at Queen's
Andy Murray could only manage five games before injury forced him to retire from his second-round match at Queen's on Wednesday, casting a shadow over a possible farewell appearance for the British tennis great at Wimbledon.
Following his very first serve of the match, against Australia's Jordan Thompson, the 37-year-old Murray's hip and right leg seemed to give way.
Murray managed to serve out the game, albeit almost on one leg.
He then requested a medical time-out at 1-2, where his right hip, which he had 'resurfaced' in 2019, and right knee were given extensive treatment.
But Murray, twice a Wimbledon champion and five times a Queen's winner, eventually retired at 4-1 down.
