It was an emotional night for three-time grand slam champion Andy Murray on Thursday, as the 37-year-old’s Wimbledon farewell began with doubles defeat.
Murray will retire from the sport this season and is playing for the last time at Wimbledon, a place which has been home to some of his most memorable career highlights. Following a doubles defeat alongside his brother Jamie on Thursday, Murray was moved to tears after a short ceremony on Centre Court in which a montage of his career played out on big screens. “It is hard because I would love to keep playing, but I can’t.
” Murray will likely be back on Centre Court on Saturday after signing up to play mixed doubles with fellow Brit Emma Raducanu. Magical Wimbledon memories Over the years, the crowds at Wimbledon have fallen in love with Murray. He made his tournament debut in 2005 as a teenager and eventually developed into one of the best players in the world, in an era where Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Djokovic were so dominant.
