Wimbledon paid tribute to Andy Murray during an emotional evening on Centre Court after British number ones Jack Draper and Katie Boulter exited the singles draws. Two-time All England Club champion Murray held back tears as a montage of his achievements, including acclaim from Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Venus Williams, was screened following defeat in the men’s doubles alongside brother Jamie. The 37-year-old, who is set to bid farewell to the Championships after partnering Emma Raducanu in the mixed doubles, then spoke at length about his career as his family and a host of tennis greats watched on.
Earlier, Draper and Boulter were eliminated by compatriots Cameron Norrie and Harriet Dart respectively, while world number 277 Jacob Fearnley gave Djokovic a brief scare in a four-set loss. You made us dream.You made us believe.
You made us cry.And you made us proud. pic.
