Andy Murray’s Wimbledon career is over after Emma Raducanu pulled out of their mixed doubles match.
The 37-year-old was given an emotional Wimbledon farewell ceremony on Thursday following his doubles defeat alongside brother Jamie.
There was a special video montage looking back on his career featuring his old rivals Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
Speaking after the match, Murray admitted it felt like a natural 'ending' to his career at Wimbledon.

But he was still scheduled to play in one last event at Wimbledon having entered the mixed doubles draw alongside Raducanu.
The British pair were a late addition to the draw with Murray only reaching out to Raducanu earlier this week.
They were scheduled as the last match on Court One on Saturday night, potentially clashing with England's Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland.
However, Raducanu has now pulled out of the scheduled match alongside Murray due to stiffness in her wrist.
“Unfortunately I woke up with some stiffness in my right wrist this morning, so therefore I have decided to make the very tough decision to withdraw from the mixed doubles tonight," she said.
"I’m disappointed as I was really looking forward to playing with Andy but got to take care.”
