Murray withdraws injured from London event
Nov 22, 2011, 17:06 GMT
London - A disappointed Andy Murray was Tuesday forced to quit his home ATP World Tour Finals with a groin muscle strain which had compromised his preparation for the year-end tournament.
The world number three who lost his opening match on Monday at the season wrapup to David Ferrer, said that after testing himself and speaking for hours on the pros and cons of trying to play on, he had to pull the plug.
The Scot reached the semi-finals last year. He will be replaced in his round robin group by Serb Janko Tipsarevic.
Murray suffered the strain eight days ago during practise in London and had been told he would need a week to ten days of total rest.
