Apparently it was incorrectly announced by ATP on Sunday on twitter that Andy had retired from Wimbledon but he hasn't. So lots of false rumours have started from that.

Injured Murray 'not made decision' on Wimbledon farewell

Andy Murray’s fairytale Wimbledon farewell ‘still possible’ after surgery
Two-times SW19 champion is recovering from a back operation but claims he has withdrawn from next week’s tournament are premature, say insiders
...
The former world No1 had a minor procedure on a spinal cyst on Saturday, which normally requires a recovery period of four weeks.
However, The Times understands the two-times Wimbledon champion, whose ability to bounce back from medical interventions is fabled, still believes it is possible to be on court at the start of next week.
In a statement, Murray’s management said: “Following his surgery on Saturday, Andy is continuing to work with his medical team to confirm when he will return to the court.
“At this stage, no decisions have been made and we will update further as soon as anything has been finalised.”
The ATP caused confusion on Sunday when it posted on Twitter, known now as X, that “Andy Murray unfortunately withdrew from the Wimbledon Open due to spinal cyst surgery”.
The post was deleted and withdrawn at the request of Murray’s camp and his former coach, Leon Smith, clarified that he had not yet pulled out.
“I’ve seen the reports, and on social media, and that’s not my understanding,” Smith told the BBC. “This has come from one source and had a knock-on effect. A lot of people are reporting it but that’s not my understanding.
“He obviously went through a procedure yesterday and you have to wait and see now. My understanding is no decision has been made and let’s hope for the best for Andy.”
If Murray is not fit enough to play singles, the final wild card in the less physically demanding doubles draw has been left open in case he wishes to play with his brother Jamie.

Murray to make Wimbledon decision 'as late as possible'
Andy Murray will make a decision "as late as possible" about a farewell Wimbledon appearance - but says it is "more likely" he will be unable to play singles next week.
The 37-year-old Briton has returned to training after having a procedure on a back issue at the weekend.
Former world number one Murray, who won two of his three Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon, plans to retire later this year.
The Championships start at the All England Club on Monday.
"I'm going to wait until the last minute to see if I'm going to be able to play and I've earned that right to do that," said Murray, who ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's singles champion in 2013 and won again in 2016.
"This is not clear-cut where I am 100% going to be ready to play or there is a 0% chance that I can play. That is the situation.
"I would say it's probably more likely that I'm not able to play singles right now."
Before his back problem flared up at Queen's last week, the Scot had intended to play in the singles and doubles - alongside his brother Jamie - at Wimbledon.
Murray's name still remains in the pot for the men's singles draw, which will be made on Friday at 10:00 BST.
The doubles draw takes place at 12:00 BST on Friday with the event starting on Wednesday, but Murray could play later in the week which would give him more recovery time.
"Maybe it's my ego getting in the way but I feel that I deserve the opportunity to give it until the very last moment to make that decision," said Murray.
"It's complicated, and it's made more complicated because I want to play at Wimbledon one more time.
"I want to have that opportunity to play the tournament."
