Wimbledon 2024 LIVE: Tennis results as Andy Murray in tears at tribute presentation after doubles defeat
Murray was beaten in the men’s doubles with his brother Jamie in what is expected to be his last year at SW19
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.
