The five-times champion at the West London club was forced to withdraw due to the strained stomach muscle he suffered in Sunday's Stuttgart Open. 'After having a scan this afternoon, an abdominal injury means I won't be fit to compete at Queen's this year,' said Murray. Andy Murray has withdrawn from Queen's because of a strained stomach muscle 'The tournament means a lot to me, and it's disappointing not to compete, especially after playing some good matches on the grass already.' It is a major setback for the double SW19 champion, although is not a tear, which would have put him out of the reckoning altogether. In a best case scenario he would like to play an exhibition match at the Hurlingham Club next week, but has been advised to rest. Murray played nine matches in fourteen days, taking in Surbiton and Stuttgart, a workload his body has not been used to in recent years.
