Andy Murray's mum Judy takes aim at 'someone you thought you could trust' for LEAKING 'private medical details' about his spinal cyst operation - and hints he may yet play at Wimbledon

Murray's hopes of featuring at Wimbledon suffered a blow after he had a surgeryJudy slammed the person who leaked 'private medical details' on social mediaThe 64-year-old also hinted Murray may yet play in the tournament next month 

Andy Murray's mum Judy has taken aim at 'someone you thought you could trust' after news of the tennis star's spinal cyst operation emerged.

Murray's hopes of a Wimbledon swansong suffered a major blow after he went under the knife on Saturday.

The 37-year-old Murray remains in the draw and he and his team are holding out hope of a miracle recovery in time for Wimbledon, which begins on July 1.

However, Judy has been left unhappy after Murray's 'private medical details' were leaked and she took to X to vent her frustration before hinting her son may yet play in the tournament.

In a post made by the Telegraph, the 64-year-old responded: 'When your private medical details are leaked to the media by someone you thought you could trust. So disappointing. And - FYI - not ruled out yet.'

The time frame for recovery is extremely narrow and it remains a long shot but Murray is clinging to a sliver of hope.

Murray’s team released a statement on Monday saying: ‘Following his surgery on Saturday, Andy is continuing to work with his medical team to confirm when he will return to the court. At this stage, no decisions have been made.’

The two-time Wimbledon champion withdrew from his second-round match at the Queen’s Club on Wednesday after nerve pain in his back spread to his right leg.

Subsequent tests revealed a cyst had developed which had to be surgically removed. The recovery time for the procedure is around four weeks for a 'normal’ adult but his team are hopeful that someone of Murray’s build and fitness could respond quickly.

Murray and his camp are taking it day by day and are not expected to make any drastic decisions. While the odds are stacked against him, it is possible he could be back on the practice courts by the end of this week.

The ATP Tour, picking up on reports, posted on X yesterday saying ‘Andy Murray is sadly out of Wimbledon’ – appearing to rubber-stamp the news. Murray’s team were furious with the post and demanded the ATP take it down.

Murray retired against Jordan Thompson at Queen's after just five games last Wednesday

Leon Smith, Great Britain Davis Cup captain and a close ally of Murray, said on the BBC when asked if Murray was out of Wimbledon: ‘That’s not my understanding. This has come from one source and that has had a knock-on effect. He went through a procedure and we have to wait and see now. My understanding is no decision’s been made and let’s hope for the best for.’

Murray may decide a comeback in the singles is impossible but could give it a go in the less-taxing doubles competition, which he is hoping to play with brother Jamie.

It is understood Wimbledon chiefs have left a spare wildcard spot in the doubles draw for the Murray brothers if they want it.

If Murray does decide to skip Wimbledon, plan B for the two-time Olympic singles gold medallist would likely be to finish at the Paris Games, which begin on July 27. ‘Probably if I was going to finish my career I would rather finish at Wimbledon or an Olympic Games,’ he said last week.
