THE END IS CRY

Wimbledon prepares for a river of tears as Andy tries to make his SW19 last stand

- NEIL MCLEMAN

ANDY MURRAY will take his decision on playing a final Wimbledon singles down to the wire today as the All England Club boss predicted "tears around the house" when the super Scot does say goodbye to Centre Court.

Veteran Murray won a set against his fellow former British No.1 Kyle Edmund on the practice courts at Aorangi Park yesterday. And the double champion has been scheduled to play in his traditional prime time slot of the third match on Centre Court today.

But the 37-year-old has yet to confirm he will take on Tomas Machac - and will wait to see how he feels this morning before playing potentially the final, emotional singles match of his career.

The three-time Grand Slam beat Edmund 6-3 2-0 yesterday - and then ended his 90-minute training session by hitting with his coach Jonny O'Mara.

His forehand and his serve looked good but he struggled to reach shots deep into this backhand.

"It was alright, yeah," reported Murray. "It was good. I am going to have a chat with my team now and speak to my family this evening and then make a decision.

"It is getting better. And the testing and stuff I have done is good. I just need to decide whether it is enough to compete really."
