• Former world No 1 hopes to return to Tour in February
Andy Murray, who has struggled with injury since the Davis Cup finals six weeks ago, has withdrawn from the ATP Cup, due to start in three cities across Australia on Friday, and the Australian Open, which begins in Melbourne on 20 January.
Minor setbacks to his rehab programme and slow recovery from a pelvic problem have dissuaded the former world No 1 from going back on the Tour until February. He will continue practising at home to build up fitness.
