Murray apologises to fans for missing Davis Cup tie against Uzbekistan

Andy Murray has written a heartfelt message to Scottish tennis fans after opting not to play in Great Britain's Davis Cup tie against Uzbekistan in Glasgow next week.

With the change of format meaning fewer home ties and uncertainty over his future participation in the competition, it could have been the 31-year-old's final chance to play competitively on home soil.

Murray will instead stay in the United States for further rehabilitation on his troublesome right hip as he looks to find a way back to the top of the game.

In a long message on Instagram, Murray highlighted the many memorable moments the competition has given him, not least the four ties in 2015 in which he led Britain to the title alongside brother Jamie.

Murray said: 'I just wanted to write a quick message to apologise to the British davis cup team and all the fans who are coming to watch in Glasgow and support on tv.

'I have genuinely loved competing in this Davis cup format over the course of my career and have had some of the most memorable and special moments (the lob) of my career competing for my country.

The former world No 1 suffered an early exit at this year's US Open at Flushing Meadows

'With this possibly being my last chance to compete in Scotland as a professional I really wanted to be there with (the) team and found this decision emotionally quite challenging.

'I had spoken to our captain, Leon (Smith), about possibly coming to just play doubles but having been recommended to take a couple of weeks off hitting to continue my reconditioning I didn't want to just show up not ready to perform to a high enough standard and ultimately let my teammates/country down.

'If I don't get the chance to compete in Scotland again I just want to say thank you so much to all the fans who have come along to watch and support the team over the years. 

British No 1 Kyle Edmund, in action in New York, will also miss the showdown in Glasgow

'You have created some incredible atmospheres for me and the team to play in and I will always remember that.

'Having been born in Glasgow and growing up in Scotland I would never have imagined I would see such passionate fans packing out stadiums for tennis matches. Playing with my Big Bro in those stadiums has been very very special.'

With Kyle Edmund also choosing to miss the tie for health reasons, Britain will be represented by Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans, Jay Clarke, Jamie Murray and Dominic Inglot.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
