Wimbledon finalist Andy Roddick has pulled out of the Indianapolis Championships with a hip injury.

The American was hurt during the marathon final against Roger Federer, who won 16-14 in the fifth set.

Roddick said in his Twitter feed he was disappointed to miss the tournament, which he has won twice, but is "not properly prepared at this point".

Tournament organisers are hoping James Blake will accept a wildcard for the event, which begins on Monday.

Roddick was also forced to pull out his country's Davis Cup quarter-final against Croatia, which the US lost.

The world number five fell during the fourth set of the Wimbledon final, but afterwards denied he had hurt himself.
