Andy Murray will make a decision on whether to play singles at Wimbledon on Monday evening ahead of what are expected to be his final Championships, but revealed he still does not have “100 per cent feeling” in his right leg after undergoing an operation to remove a spinal cyst last weekend.

The former world No 1 is not ruling out playing on Centre Court against Tomas Machac on Tuesday and says he will make a decision after his final practice session. Murray wants to “feel the buzz” on Centre Court for one last time and have some “closure” before ending his career.

Emma Raducanu will play 22nd seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in the first round on Monday as the former US Open champion returns to SW19 after missing last year due to injury. Novak Djokovic is seeded second as the 37-year-old attempts to win Wimbledon for a record eighth time following a five-set defeat to Carlos Alcaraz in a thrilling men’s final last year.
