US Open champion Andy Murray reveals that he could miss the French Open due to lower back pain.

British number one Andy Murray has revealed that he may be forced to miss the French Open due to problems with his lower back.

The Scotsman retired from his second-round match against Marcel Granollers at the Rome Masters today after suffering from the injury during play.

"I have an issue with my lower back," BBC Sport quotes Murray as saying. "It's been an issue for a while. I need to make a plan as to what I do.

"I'll chat with the guys tonight and make a plan for the next few days then make a decision on Paris after the next five days. I want to make sure it goes away. It's been a problem since the end of 2011 but it got bad during last year's clay season."

Murray pulled out of today's match after drawing level on sets.
