Andy Murray has withdrawn from the Australian Open

Britain's Andy Murray has withdrawn from the Australian Open tennis due to his ongoing hip problem.

The former world number one says he's not yet ready to compete in Melbourne and will be flying home shortly to assess "all the options".

Murray hasn't played competitively since his exit from Wimbledon in July - and was forced to pull out of the Brisbane International earlier this week.

He's hinted he may require surgery to get over his injury.
