ANDY MURRAY has suffered an injury scare just over two weeks before the start of the US Open.
The 2012 New York champion had to apologise to the Canadian Open crowd after withdrawing from the tournament with an abdominal strain.
The Scot, 36, had been down to face Italian Jannik Sinner but the match never went ahead and the seventh seed received a walkover into the quarter-finals.
The world No.40 came out on to the Toronto court without his racquet and addressed the crowd to explain his situation.
He said: “Unfortunately I’m not going to be able to play this evening. I’m really sorry.
