Jannik Sinner was named the No. 1 seed ahead of Novak Djokovic, who was slotted at No. 2. 2023 Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz rounded out the top three.

Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray told ESPN's Tom Hamilton that he is hoping his back injury won't prevent him from playing in the tournament for the last time before retiring.

Murray said he would leave it until the last minute before Friday's draw to decide if he's healthy enough to play in the singles tournament. The 37-year-old underwent surgery last Saturday to remove a spinal cyst, and the procedure typically requires a recovery time of six weeks.

"I feel that I deserve the opportunity to give it until the very last moment to make that decision," Murray said on Thursday. "If I was to be playing on Monday, I may know on Sunday there's no chance that I can play. But also if it is progressing... I'm on the court yesterday and I'm able to go on the court and move around more today and start to do more sort of tennis movements and stuff, I'm not necessarily going to know how that's going to change over the next 48 to 72 hours."

Murray added that if he's unable to play in the singles tournament, he likely will try to play doubles with his brother, Jamie. He confirmed that he intends to retire from tennis after this summer, as his goal is to play both at Wimbledon and at the Paris Olympics.

Sinner was elevated to the world No. 1 after a knee injury forced Djokovic to withdraw from the French Open earlier this month. Alcaraz defeated Sinner in the semifinals and then topped Alexander Zverev to win his first career French Open title.

It's clear that there will be some exciting matchups down the line at Wimbledon this summer.
