Two-time Wimbledon winner Andy Murray could be forced to miss this year's tournament - now less than a month away - after admitting his recovery from hip surgery has been "very slow".

It is only a "few days" since he resumed training, he said.

The 31-year-old, who has not played since being knocked out of last year's Wimbledon at the quarter final stage has, "with regret", pulled out of next week's Libema Open in the Netherlands.

While he is "not quite ready to return" he is "still aiming to play in the coming weeks", he said.

When he does return, he wants to be "100%".

Murray had hip surgery in Melbourne after pulling out of the Australian Open in January.
