Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has pulled out of next month's season-ending ATP World Tour Finals in London as he recovers from back surgery.
The third-ranked Murray said in a statement posted on the ATP website that "I'm really disappointed not to be playing this year, I love playing in front of my home crowd."
Murray had an operation for his long-standing back problem last month and was always likely to miss the November 4-11 event, which features the world's top eight singles players.
Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and David Ferrer are the three players to have qualified with four weeks remaining in the season.
