Andy Murray has withdrawn from Great Britain's Davis Cup tie against Ukraine because of a virus.

The virus is the same that forced Andy to pull out of the Dubai Championships last week ahead of his quarter-final with Richard Gasquet. He was instructed by doctors to rest for at least seven days, meaning he will miss the March 6th to 8th Glasgow tie.

"Obviously, I'm very disappointed that I won't be playing in Glasgow this week, but the doctor has told me that I need complete rest for at least seven days, and I have to respect that," said Murray.

"I hoped that pulling out of Dubai when I did would give me enough time to recover, but this virus has hit me harder than any illness I've had before and I still feel terrible."

Statement from Andy Murray spokesman:

"Following his withdrawal from the Dubai Open, Andy's condition hasn't improved. After daily visits from the LTA doctor and a number of medical tests, Andy has been told to rest for at least seven days to overcome his virus. Andy is greatly disappointed that he has to pull out of the upcoming Davis Cup tie as he was looking forward to playing for Great Britain in front of his home crowd. Andy will be right behind John Lloyd and the team when they compete against Ukraine this Friday."

Statement from John Lloyd, AEGON GB Davis Cup Captain:

“It’s obviously disappointing that Andy is unable to play in this Davis Cup tie but our medical team has been monitoring Andy closely and don’t feel that he is in a position to compete. We all hope he makes a swift recovery and is back playing again soon. I now need to focus on preparing the team for the tie against Ukraine- we have five players up here who are desperate to play and they have all impressed me in the last week. The play-offs demonstrated that these guys can handle long matches mentally and physically so Paul Annacone and I will discuss who will replace Andy in the team and make a decision in the next couple of days. With the support of a vocal home crowd I firmly believe that this is a very winnable match for us.”
