Andy Murray has been forced to drop out of Wimbledon due to a problem with his hip.

In a statement Murray said: "It's with regret I'm withdrawing from Wimbledon.

"I've made significant progress in practice and matches over the last ten days, but after lengthy discussions with my team and with a heavy heart, we've decided that playing best of five set matches might be a bit too soon in the recovery process.

"We did everything we could to try to be ready in time.

"I will start practising on the hard courts from tomorrow and continuing with my rehab and recovery and I'm looking forward to the US hardcourt season.

"Thanks for all the messages of support and I'm excited to finally be back playing after so long out."
