Andy Murray's hopes of being fit enough to play at Wimbledon have taken a fresh hit after he pulled out of his planned comeback next week in the Netherlands.

The former world number one, who has not played a competitive match since he was knocked out of the Wimbledon quarter-finals last July due to a hip injury, underwent surgery in Australia in January after pulling out of the Australian Open.

"Unfortunately I won't be ready to play in Hertogenbosch," the British three-time Grand Slam champion posted on his Facebook page.

"I was really excited to play there for the first time but I'm still not quite ready to return. I am still aiming to play in the coming weeks, but I want to be 100 percent when I do return. Thanks as always for the support."
"I've started training a few days ago. I'm hoping to make my comeback during the grass-court season."
