 Murray is still hopeful of being fit for the US Open |
Andy Murray has pulled out of next week's Pilot Pen event in New Haven as he struggles to fully overcome a serious wrist injury. The British number one returned after three months out last week but has lost two of three matches since.
He suffered a 6-1 6-2 loss to Marcos Baghdatis in Cincinnati on Tuesday.
A statement on Murray's website said: "He isn't ready to play. Instead, he'll keep working hard and hopes to be ready for the US Open."

The 20-year-old Scot has been unwilling to hit his forehand at full power since returning in Washington last week, but said after his defeat by Baghdatis: "I haven't had any bad reactions.
"It was feeling better, and I guess it's pretty much 100% now. It's a good sign."
The US Open gets under way on 27 August.
