Andy Murray will appear on BBC television as Wimbledon pundit

Andy Murray will appear on BBC television on Tuesday as a Wimbledon pundit before then entering the commentary box on Wednesday.

Murray was forced to withdraw injured on the eve of the All England Club tournament because of his hip issues, which saw him undergo surgery in January.

It remains to be seen which matches the former British No 1 will be commentating on but Wednesday will see the quarter-finals of the men’s singles take place at SW19. 

The twice champion’s world ranking will plummet to around 840 after he announced that he did not consider his hip could stand up to the rigours of a five-set match.

Murray pledged before the tournament got underway that he will return to Wimbledon as a player despite making a last-ditch withdrawal.

‘If I was thinking I would not play Wimbledon again, it would be a different decision to make and I would be out there and just playing to enjoy it and potentially play my last Wimbledon,’ said Murray, who will continue practising in the coming weeks. 

‘But I want to play for a couple more years and hopefully be back competing at the top of the game, and I need to bear that in mind when I am making decisions right now. I don’t have any regrets in terms of anything I’ve done.

‘I have practised as much as I could, I’ve trained as much as I was allowed, following what I’ve been told by my team and the medical professionals around me. I didn’t decide when I was going to play at Queen’s (two weeks ago) that that meant also that I was going to play at Wimbledon.

‘I had to wait a bit to see how my body responded to the matches and the practising against the top players before making a decision about that.’
