World number two Andy Murray has withdrawn from the US Open, citing the nagging left hip injury that has left him unable to compete in the year’s final Grand Slam tournament.

Briton Murray, a three-time major champion whose first major title came in 2012 on the New York hard courts, was uncertain about his status for the remainder of the season.

Murray is the latest big-name withdrawal from the Flushing Meadows event, following the likes of Novak Djokovic, Stan Wawrinka, Milos Raonic and Kei Nishikori.
