Andy Murray has joined the long list of male tennis players that will not play at the US Open.

The British world number two has withdrawn two days before the start of the tournament in New York because of a hip injury.

Murray has struggled with the injury since Wimbledon, when he lost to Sam Querrey in the quarter finals.

The 2012 US Open champion practised all week but claimed it was too sore for him to win the tournament.

Novak Djokovic, Stan Wawrinka, Milos Raonic and Kei Nishikori are the other absentees from the US Open.
