Andy Murray wants to experience Centre Court 'buzz' on final Wimbledon appearance

Andy Murray wants to experience Centre Court 'buzz' on final Wimbledon appearance

Andy Murray is hoping to feel the "buzz" of playing one more match at Centre Court.

The British ace is racing to be fit for a final appearance at Wimbledon before retirement and is hoping to get "a bit of closure" on his All England Club swansong.

Murray told reporters: "I don’t think there’s one thing that I’m hoping for. When it comes to the end, I don’t know, maybe a bit of closure. I just want the opportunity to play one more time out there hopefully on Centre Court, and I don’t know, feel that buzz.

"Like last year, I wasn’t planning on it being my last year on the tour. I wanted to come back and play again, whereas this year I have no plans to do that. It’s coming to the end of my career and I want to have that opportunity to play here again."

Murray is scheduled to play his first-round match against Tomas Machac on Tuesday (02.07.24) and revealed that he would make a final decision about his participation at SW19 on Monday (01.07.24) night after suffering a back injury at Queen's recently.

The former world number one said: "It’s getting better every single day. Like I said a few days ago, I want to give it every single chance that I can to get there. I’m going to play another set again tomorrow. I’m doing some physical testing in the morning to see sort of how far off I am from a physical perspective. Then I will probably make a decision tomorrow evening after that."
