Jamie Murray: 'I don't know how long they could push Wimbledon back'

Two-time champion Jamie Murray says the All England Club face a considerable challenge rescheduling Wimbledon if it is postponed because of coronavirus.

A decision regarding this year's event will be made next week while the pandemic has already pushed May's French Open to the autumn.

Wimbledon, scheduled for 29 June-12 July, could be cancelled altogether.

"I don't know how long they could push it back," Murray, 34, told BBC Scotland's The Nine.

"They're desperate to have their event on, it's still over three months away and a lot can change in that time. For them, optics don't necessarily look great, I guess, if there's sporting events all over the world getting cancelled and their trying to crack on with things.
