He also is the only player with two consecutive tennis gold medals in singles at the Olympics. He won at London 2012 -- when the sport's Summer Games matches were held at the All England Club -- and at Rio 2016.

Murray underwent a pair of hip operations in 2018 and 2019. While he thought he would need to retire after the second surgery, in which he received a metal hip implant, Murray eventually returned to action.

He has since been hampered by various health issues, including tearing ligaments in his left ankle at the Miami Open in March.

Murray lost in the first round of the French Open in May.

He is not the only 37-year-old with multiple Wimbledon championships on his record who is dealing with recovery from recent surgery: Novak Djokovic, who won seven of his 24 Grand Slam titles at the All England Club, had a procedure to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee less than a month ago after getting hurt at the French Open.

Djokovic said Saturday he feels well enough to compete at Wimbledon and perhaps even contend for another trophy.
