Virus forces Murray out of Britain's Davis Cup tie

6:00 am on 3 March 2009

The world tennis number four Andy Murray has withdrawn from Britain's Davis Cup match against Ukraine this weekend after failing to recover from a virus.

Murray pulled out of last week's Dubai Championship and will also miss the Europe/Africa zone Group One second-round tie being played near Glasgow.

He says he's very disappointed he won't be playing but has been told to rest for at least seven days.
