<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There had been speculation that Federer was struggling with the problem and that only increased when he failed to show up for a scheduled practice session on Sunday afternoon.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The announcement was made following the doubles final, with Federer taking to the court to explain the situation to the fans.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He said: "Unfortunately I'm not match fit to play match tonight. Clearly I wish it wasn't this way. You try all year to be ready for the ATP World Tour Finals and I didn't want to end this way.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"I tried everything I could last night and today - painkillers, rest - until the very end, but I can't compete at this level with Novak. In a final like this and at my age, it would be too risky. I hope you understand."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Federer had earlier battled for almost three hours to defeat countryman Stan Wawrinka, saving four match points, and he is unlikely to recover in time for Switzerland's Davis Cup tie against France next week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The gruelling battle at the cathedral-like Agora arena, at three hours and 20 minutes the longest final of the year on the ATP World Tour, was a repeat of last month's Shenzhen Open showpiece, when Murray fought off five match points against the Spaniard on the way to a 5-7 7-6 (9) 6-1 success.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1414381202265_1928" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.0000019073486px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A wildcard at the Valencia indoor hardcourt event, which he won in 2009, third seed Murray produced an erratic display against unseeded Robredo but had just enough in the tank to claim a 31st career singles title.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1414381202265_1930" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.0000019073486px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After thumping a backhand winner to seal victory, the Scot, who squandered a match point earlier in the third set, collapsed to the floor and barely had enough strength to get to the net to greet his equally exhausted opponent.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1414381202265_1932" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.0000019073486px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The win earned Murray, playing his 20th match in five weeks having also won in Vienna this month, a further 200 points and lifted him to fifth in the race to secure a spot at the season-ending eight-man Tour finals in London.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I played well at the right moments," Murray told reporters.</span></div>

<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.0000019073486px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After an intense first set with Robredo in the ascendancy, Murray upped his game in the second before failing to convert three break points on the Robredo serve that would have given him a 5-2 lead.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.0000019073486px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Scot then played a woeful game to hand a break back and home favourite Robredo had two match points in the tiebreak that would have given him a 13th career title.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1414381202265_1934" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.0000019073486px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, Murray dug deep to take the match to a third set and after missing his chance to seal victory with Robredo serving at 4-5 managed to come through the deciding tiebreak by fending off a further three match points.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"It was an amazing match, and you have to enjoy it," Robredo said.</span></div>
