Second seed Andy Murray has withdrawn from the Rogers Cup with a knee injury. Murray, who on Sunday won gold at the London 2012 Olympics Tennis Event, had been due to play Canadian Milos Raonic for a place in the quarter-finals.

 

“It’s unfortunate. I think it would have been a fun match,” Murray said. “I hope he has a good tournament. Be great for him to go deep in this the tournament here for the first time.”

 

Murray said that he felt soreness after Wednesday’s opening-round win over Italian Flavio Cipolla, particularly when he moved laterally. “It was a bit sore yesterday, then I had some treatment after the match. It felt a bit better, and then came in today, I saw the physios, they did some work on it, and it’s still a bit sore.

 

“I did a little warm-up on the bike to try it out and it was still sore, so I had to make a decision as to what I was going to do… I don’t want to go full out and possibly do any more damage. That was why I decided not to play.”

 

Raonic said that he spoke briefly to Murray after learning of his withdrawal. “[I] just wished him that he gets healthy quick, because he’s been playing really well lately,” Raonic said. “It’s my first quarter-final in a Masters [1000], and to be at home is pretty special. I guess there is a give and take with it.”

 

In other news, Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from next week’s Western & Southern Open due to left knee soreness that has sidelined him since Wimbledon.
