Andy was not fit enough for the singles – pulling out on Tuesday morning – but entered the doubles with Jamie and the mixed with Emma Raducanu as he bids farewell to Wimbledon ahead of his upcoming retirement.

After all, he did have surgery on his back to remove a spinal cyst just 12 days ago.

But he took to Centre Court up against Aussie pair John Peers and Rinky Hijikata – cheered on by mum Judy, wife Kim and daughters Sophia and Evie.

A tight first set went to a tie-break with Murray and Murray unable to convert their set point before Hijikata came up with the goods when it mattered most.

The Scottish pair made the perfect start to the second, breaking immediately – but were pegged straight back.

A terrible game at 3-3 from Jamie – including two double faults – gifted Peers and Hijikata the all-important break.

THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
