since losing in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon last month, where he
struggled with the ongoing problem.The Scotsman's prospects of playing the season's fourth grand slam, which begins on Monday, looked to increase when he travelled to New York last weekend and spent the week participating in practice.

Andy Murray struggled throughout Wimbledon last month with the ongoing hip problem
"I did pretty much everything I could to get myself ready here," Murray said.
"I certainly wouldn't have been hurting myself more by trying to play. It was more a question of whether it would settle down in time. I kind of ran out of time.

The world number two spent the week practising in New
York ahead of Monday's start but confirmed he was in too much pain to
play
"I'll sit down and decide with my team in the next couple of days, for sure."

Murray says he will now discuss his options for the remainder of the year in the coming days
Murray was due to face American world number 104 Tennys Sandgren in the first round.
