The 37-year-old Murray is scheduled to play in the first round of singles at the All England Club on Tuesday. He and his older brother, Jamie, were given a wild-card invitation for doubles, too, and that event starts later in the week.

The Scot had back surgery on June 22 after needing to stop during a match a few days earlier at Queen's Club. He said the cyst was compressing a nerve and making his right leg numb and difficult to use.

Murray played a practice set on Sunday. “It went pretty well, but I still don't have 100% feeling and sensation in my leg,” he said.
