Andy Murray will not play singles at Wimbledon but has committed to competing in doubles with his brother Jamie.
The two-time former champion has been battling to recover from back surgery last weekend but has run out of time, with his first-round clash against Tomas Machac scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
A statement from Murray's representatives read: "Unfortunately, despite working incredibly hard on his recovery since his operation just over a week ago, Andy has taken the very difficult decision not to play the singles this year.
"As you can imagine, he is extremely disappointed but has confirmed that he will be playing in the doubles with Jamie and looks forward to competing at Wimbledon for the last time."
British No1 Jack Draper begins his tilt at the title on Centre Court in Murray’s slot, while home hopes also rest on the shoulders of Katie Boulter, Cameron Norrie - both on Court 3 - and Dan Evans, on Court 12.
Elsewhere, there is plenty of interest on Court One as women’s and men’s No4 seeds Elena Rybakina and Alexander Zverev are in action before world no1 Iga Swiatek faces Sofia Kenin.
