Andy Murray's Wimbledon comeback in the doubles will likely be scheduled on a major show court for safety reasons, All England Club chief executive Richard Lewis said Monday.
The two-time Wimbledon champion and British home favourite, coming back from major hip resurfacing surgery, is easing his way back towards a possible singles return by playing doubles.
Wimbledon normally schedules three singles matches per day on the main show courts, and Murray, who has teamed up with Pierre-Hugues Herbert, will have to slot in afterwards whenever the singles are finished.
"It depends what other matches are on and how certain you are they will finish on time," said Lewis.
Murray will be almost certainly be put on either Centre Court or Court One to start with -- simply down to the security risk of marching him through thousands of fans to one of the lesser courts.
"One of the major considerations for Andy, I think first match in particular, is safety. That restricts the number of courts he can be on," added Lewis.
"Obviously Centre and One are easy. I think once you get beyond Centre and One, it's more problematic.
"After the first match, if the interest dies down a bit, we might have more flexibility where he plays."
