Tearful Andy Murray receives standing ovation as he walks out on Wimbledon’s Centre Court

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.
