Wimbledon starts on Monday and the reigning
champion had added the matches to his schedule to gain
grasscourt practice after a surprising first-round exit from
last week's Aegon Championships at Queen's Club.
The 30-year-old, a two times winner at Wimbledon, has been on
patchy form during a 2017 season that has been disrupted by
shingles, an elbow injury and influenza.
"Sadly I won’t be ready to play at Hurlingham tomorrow, my hip
is still sore and I need to rest it today and likely tomorrow,"
the Scot said in a statement.
Murray pulled out of a first match for the same reason on
Tuesday.
