Andy Murray has pulled out of this week's Dubai Tennis Championships.
On Saturday, the Briton, 35, played in his fourth ATP final since undergoing hip resurfacing surgery in 2019.
After losing to Daniil Medvedev in the final of the Qatar Open in Doha, Murray said he needed to be "a bit smarter" with managing his body.
"Andy has been dealing with a recurring hip injury that has unfortunately forced him out of Dubai," tournament organisers said on Monday.
Three-time Grand Slam champion Murray lost 6-4 6-4 to Russian third seed Medvedev at the end of a thrilling week which saw him overcome four three-set matches and eight match points en route to the Doha final.
