The 20-year-old British number one is in a race against time to be fit for the championship, which begins in a little over a month, after calling time on his bid to be ready for the French Open with a wrist injury.

"I'm not going to make any decisions on the grass yet," he told his personal website, www.andymurray.com. "I'm going to see the doctor in a week to see how it feels and how much the inflammation has settled. But good news is I got the cast off and I'll start physio treatment and take it day by day to see how it feels and reacts."

British tennis fans will no doubt be waiting with bated breath for the results of that examination, as a Murray-less Wimbledon would mean a second year in succession without a home-grown seed at the All England Club.

But even if he does eventually take his place in the draw, he will have little time to prepare for a tournament he would have been considered an outsider to win even if fully fit.

Murray's confession on Tuesday brought to an end confusion over his chances of playing in Paris, after coach Brad Gilbert last week appeared to rule him out.

Gilbert said of Murray at the time: "He's pulled the plug on the clay-court season and we're hoping he'll be back and ready to compete at Queen's in a few weeks."

The American's claim was disputed by Murray at the weekend, when he insisted no firm decision had yet been made but Murray has now accepted the inevitable.
