Wimbledon: Emma Raducanu on why she 'couldn't say no' to playing mixed doubles with Andy Murray

A tearful Andy Murray was honoured on Centre Court in one of the final moments of his Wimbledon career. The 37-year-old was given a hero’s reception as he began his last appearance alongside his brother Jamie in the men’s doubles but the pair were beaten by Rinky Hijikata and John Peers. Murray still has mixed doubles to come with Emma Raducanu but the All England Club took the opportunity to celebrate his historic career.

British wildcard Jacob Fearnley gave Novak Djokovic a scare on Centre Court after forcing a fourth set, but was beaten by the seven-time champion in a thriller. Harriet Dart stunned British No 1 Katie Boulter in the third-set tiebreak before Jack Draper lost to former British No 1 and Wimbledon semi-finalist Cameron Norrie in another all-British clash on Court No 1.

Wimbledon 2024: A Murray-J Murray 6-7(6), 4-6 Peers-Hijikata – GAME, SET, MATCH!

Peers begins with a double fault, but responds with a brilliant winner on the run on the next point. Andy Murray gets unlucky chasing a ball which stays low after hitting the tramline and he can’t get it back, and then the Aussies rattle off two quick points to win the match.

Wimbledon 2024: A Murray-J Murray 6-7(6), 4-5 *Peers-Hijikata

Andy Murray holds with a swinging ace out wide, the sort he’s hit so many times on this court down the years. But John Peers will now serve for the match.

Wimbledon 2024: *A Murray-J Murray 6-7(6), 3-5 Peers-Hijikata

Hijikata begins his own service game by winning the point with a clever acute half-volley winner across the net, and the Australian duo never look back. They are just one game away now...

Wimbledon 2024: A Murray-J Murray 6-7(6), 3-4 Peers-Hijikata*

Oh no, there it is! Jamie Murray’s serve deserts him and the Australians take advantage, rushing into a 0-40 lead before a double fault kills off the game and hands over the break. The Murrays are in trouble.

Peers holds.

In case you missed it, Cameron Norrie has seen off Jack Draper tonight in an impressive second-round win:

Norrie beat the man who supplanted him at the top of the British game last month.

Wimbledon 2024: A Murray-J Murray 6-7(6), 3-2 *Peers-Hijikata

Andy Murray responds with a swift hold of his own. His serve has been solid so far and his mobility hasn’t been bad either. The Murrays are making a good fist of this.

Wimbledon 2024: *A Murray-J Murray 6-7(6), 2-2 Peers-Hijikata

Hijikata rattles through a service game to back up the break, and they’re all square.

Wimbledon 2024: A Murray-J Murray 6-7(6), 2-1 Peers-Hijikata*

For the first time in the match, Jamie Murray’s serve comes under pressure from the Australian pair, and they take it to deuce. From there, Hijikata plays superbly, pulling off a return winner and then killing off break point to immediately break back. That’s a blow for the Murrays after working so hard to earn a break themselves.

Wimbledon 2024: A Murray-J Murray* 6-7(6), 2-0 Peers-Hijikata

A roar from Andy Murray signals the news: the Murrays have broken serve! That’s the first break of the match and it’s the perfect response after the disappointment of losing that tie-break.
