World number three Murray had an operation last month and Wednesday saw the two-time Major winner confirm what had long been suspected when he announced he wouldn't be fit to play in the showpiece event.
"I'm really disappointed not to be playing this year, I love playing in front of my home crowd, it's a great atmosphere," Murray told atpworldtour.Com.
"All the players look forward to competing in London and I'll be doing my best to qualify again for the tournament next year."
But his absence from Roland Garros helped him compete at Wimbledon where he became the first British man in 77 years to win the men's singles title.
However, while fit enough to get through a fortnight on the grasscourts in London, Murray was still not at the absolute peak of fitness and the subsequent defence of his US Open title saw him suffer a surprise quarter-final defeat by Stanislas Wawrinka.
