The All England Club confirmed on Thursday tꦅhat 37-year-old Murray, who is hoping to feature at Wimbledon for what seems likely to be the final time in his illustrious career, had received a wildcard to team up with his younger sibling in the men's doubles.
Murray had a procedur💙e ☂on a back injury last weekend, but is now back in training.
The former world number one and two-time Wimbledon champion said hജe will wait as long as possible to make a decision 🐎on his participation in the singles event.
"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 r🔯ight to do that," he said.
"Thജis is not clear-cut where I am 100% going to be ready𓆉 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.
"Maybe it's my ego getting in the way but I feel that I deserve the opportunity to give it until the very lওast moment to make that decision.
"It's complicated, and it's made mo🎃re complicated because I want to play at Wimbledon one more time.
"I want to have that opportunity to play [in] the tourꦆnament.&qu💃ot;
