Wimbledon: Andy and Jamie Murray handed doubles wildcard

Andy and Jamie Murray will compete together in the gentlemen’s doubles at Wimbledon after being handed the final wildcard.

He was hoping to compete in both the singles and the doubles, but a reaggrevated back issue at Queen’s last week have called those plans into question.

He revealed he will wait until the last minute to decide whether he will feature in the singles.

The 37-year-old said: “I’m going to wait until the last minute to see if I’m going to be able to play and I’ve earned that right to do that.

“This is not clear-cut where I am 100% going to be ready to play or there is a 0% chance that I can play. That is the situation.

“I would say it’s probably more likely that I’m not able to play singles right now.”
