Andy Murray has been forced to withdraw from the Queen's Club Championships due to the abdominal injury he picked up in the Stuttgart Open.
The 35-year-old impressively defeated Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas en route to the final before going down to Matteo Berrettini in three sets in the showpiece event.
Murray required on-court treatment on more than one occasion over the weekend, but he is hopeful that the issue will not render him unavailable for Wimbledon after a scan.
"After having a scan this afternoon, an abdominal injury means I won't be fit to compete at Queen's this year," the three-time Grand Slam winner explained.
"The tournament means a lot to me, and it's disappointing not to compete, especially after playing some good matches on the grass already."
Murray - who also reached the semi-finals of the Surbiton Trophy earlier in the grass court season - may be fit to return for an exhibition event at the Hurlingham Club next week.
This year's Wimbledon will begin on June 27, and Murray's scheduled first-round opponent at Queen's - Lorenzo Sonego - will instead face lucky loser Denis Kudla.
