Andy Murray will undergo surgery on a long-standing back injury on Monday and is unlikely to play again this season.
The 26-year-old has a disc problem in his lower back and is set to miss this year's remaining tour events, including November's World Tour Finals in London.
The injury flared up in May, forcing him to withdraw from the French Open.
He returned to become Britain's first male Wimbledon singles champion since 1936, but struggled on the hard courts and lost in the US Open quarter-finals.
Murray tweeted on Thursday: "Having operation on Monday. Will let everyone know how it goes. I'll be 'back' stronger."
