LONDON (AP) — Andy Murray will undergo a "surgical procedure" on his back Saturday before the former No. 1 makes a decision about trying to play at Wimbledon or the Paris Olympics.

The 37-year-old Murray retired from his second-round match at Queen's Club on Wednesday because of back pain — the latest in a series of injuries that have slowed the two-time Wimbledon champion.

Murray, who has signaled his intention to retire later this year, stopped playing while trailing Jordan Thompson 4-1. He said he was experiencing problems with his right leg even before getting to the court.

Murray bowed out injured in the second round at the Queen's Club, a tournament he won a record five times.

After three games, Murray received treatment on his surgically repaired right hip, right knee and lower back.

His management team confirmed that he'd have the procedure Saturday. No other details were provided.

First-round play at the All England Club starts July 1.
