Andy Murray<\/a> retired from his second-round match at Queen\u2019s Club because of a back injury on Thursday morning (AEST), raising doubts about what is expected to be his final Wimbledon appearance.<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old Murray stopped playing while trailing Aussie Jordan Thompson<\/a> 4-1, and the former No.1 player said he\u2019d get scans on Friday (AEST).<\/p>\n

The two-time Wimbledon<\/a> champion, who has signalled his intention to retire later this year, said he \u201cwouldn\u2019t know\u201d about whether he\u2019ll be ready when play starts on July 1 at the All England Club.<\/p>\n

Murray, who has won the Queen\u2019s Club title five times, said he was experiencing problems with his right leg even before getting to the court. He was in obvious pain during the warmup and into the match.<\/p>\n

After three games, Murray received treatment on his surgically repaired right hip, right knee and lower back.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Sebastian Korda beat former Queen\u2019s Club champion Grigor Dimitrov to reach the quarterfinals at the grass-court tournament.<\/p>\n

Korda, who reached the final on grass in \u2019s-Hertogenbosch last week as he prepares for Wimbledon, won their second-round match 6-4, 3-6, 7-5.<\/p>\n

\"Andy<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a big struggle. We were both serving well and waiting for our chances and there weren\u2019t many. But when they came, I tried to take them,\u201d said the 23rd-ranked Korda.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is incredible playing at Queen\u2019s, it is one of my favourite tournaments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dimitrov won the Queen\u2019s Club title in 2014.<\/p>\n

It was Korda's seventh victory over a top 10 opponent. He will next take on Aussie Rinky Hijikata for a spot in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Hijikata defeated Italian player Matteo Arnaldi 7-6 (0), 7-6 (7).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
