Davis Cup worry for Murray

12 April 2012

Andy Murray has admitted he is a serious doubt for Britain's Davis Cup tie with Holland this weekend.

Murray picked up hip and groin injuries during his quarter-final victory over Tommy Haas in Indian Wells last month but recovered enough to play in Miami last week where he was beaten 6-1 6-0 by Novak Djokovic, his worst defeat as a professional.

"My groin is not too good," Murray admitted on BBC Radio Five Live. "I'll have to see what it's like on Wednesday and if it's not good, there is a good chance I won't be able to play."

He added: "I had a scan on Thursday. The inflammation in my hip bone is not too bad, but I tried practising on Sunday and didn't feel good at all, so I'm taking Monday off.

"I can leave it until Friday morning (before deciding), but I think it's unfair on the guy who has to step in, so I'd rather decide sooner rather than later, so probably Thursday morning at the latest.

"The pain is in my right groin. It's really uncomfortable when I move to wide balls and stretch my legs a lot.

"You just have to ice it a lot and try to take the inflammation away and hopefully in a few days it should be better."

Murray's recent good form has seen him reach a career-high 11th in the world rankings.
