Andy Murray is bidding farewell to Wimbledon this year: on Thursday evening, he lost in doubles with his brother Jamie 7-6 (8/6), 6-4, against the Australian pair Rinky Hijikata and John Peers. He is still involved in mixed doubles with his compatriot Emma Raducanu.

After undergoing surgery almost two weeks ago for a spinal cyst, the three-time Grand Slam winner had to withdraw from the singles, but he was keen to play one last time the tournament that made him king: on this Centre Court he won the greatest tennis tournament in history twice. And he won the Olympic gold medal there in 2012. The 37-year-old Scot, who has been playing with a metal hip since 2019, is expected to retire after the Paris Olympics this summer.
