When is Andy Murray playing at Wimbledon? Start time and TV channel for first-round match today

Andy Murray is set to appear at Wimbledon for potentially the final time when he faces Tomas Machac today.

It is not yet confirmed whether the 37-year-old will be fit enough to take to the court, as he continues his race to return to fitness after surgery on a spinal cyst.

Murray is desperate to have the chance to make one last Wimbledon appearance, having made it clear he intends to retire from the sport later this summer.

Should he decide he can play, Murray will face a familiar first-round opponent in Machac. The 23-year-old was on the other side of the net in Miami earlier this year when Murray suffered an ankle injury that kept him out for three weeks.
