Judy Murray has hit out at the 'private leak' of her son Andy's medical report after details of a procedure he underwent on Saturday emerged online.
Andy, 37, retired from his match with Jordan Thompson at Queen's last week with a nerve-related problem in his right leg. It has since been reported that Murray underwent surgery on a spinal cyst and has been ruled out of Wimbledon - the latter claim being something that both Andy and Judy say is not the case.
The Scot had been expected to pen the final chapter of a remarkable career with an appearance at his home Grand Slam and the Olympics in Paris before said injury sparked fears he could miss Wimbledon.
The report outlining details of the procedure Murray underwent revealed that sources had disclosed that the Brit was likely to face a six-week lay-off. Wimbledon gets underway next week.
But Judy took aim at the leak on Twitter/X while also stressing that her son had not yet been ruled out of Wimbledon. She wrote: "When your private medical details are leaked to the media by someone you thought you could trust. So disappointing. And - FYI - not ruled out yet."

Andy revealed last week that he had been struggling with his back for some time before being forced to pull out of the cinch Championships at Queen's.
He said: “I have been struggling with my back for a while. It was pretty sore in my match yesterday. I wasn't comfortable playing, but I was able to manage it. The first two balls I hit in the warmup, my right leg, I had no coordination. I had a loss of power in my right leg. It was just not working properly. Yeah, I couldn't move.
It remains to be seen whether or not Murray will be able to compete at Wimbledon (Clive Brunskill)“I have dealt with back issues for a long time, for the last ten years or so. But I have never had that loss of coordination, loss of control and strength in the leg before.”
It was reported over the weekend by ATP that Murray was set to miss out on Wimbledon after undergoing surgery before being pulled. Murray's camp insisted on Monday morning that "no decisions had been made" in regards to the tournament as he bids to compete.
At the time, Murray admitted he had no idea whether or not the issue would prevent him from competing at SW19. When he was about his chances of making the tournament, he said: “I wouldn't know. I don't know exactly what it (treatment) will be, because I don't know exactly what the problem is. The sort of treatment I had on my back after the French Open was predominantly left-sided. This was my right leg. I have never had too many issues with the right side. I will get scans tomorrow and get it rechecked and see if there's anything that can be done.”
