Murray Brothers Suffer Early Exit at Wimbledon
Andy and Jamie Murray Lose First-Round Match
Andy Murray's potential farewell Wimbledon appearance got off to a disappointing start as he and brother Jamie Murray crashed out in the first round of the men's doubles competition on Thursday. The British duo lost in three close sets to Australian-New Zealand pair Rinky Hijikata and John Peers, 7-6 (8), 8-6, 6-4. The match marked Andy Murray's final appearance on Centre Court at Wimbledon, as he announced his retirement from singles play this week.
Emotional Farewell
Despite the defeat, Andy Murray was given an emotional farewell by the crowd as he left the court. The 35-year-old, a two-time Wimbledon champion, has been a mainstay of British tennis for nearly two decades. His retirement from singles play brings an end to an era for British tennis, but he will continue to play doubles with his brother.
