LONDON — There were tears from Andy Murray. Standing ovations from the Centre Court crowd. A video tribute replete with messages from Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Venus Williams.
Andy and Jamie Murray absorb a straight-sets loss in the first men’s doubles first-round match played in the event’s main stadium in nearly 30 years.
The Murrays lost, 7-6 , 6-4, in the first round of men’s doubles against Rinky Hijikata and John Peers — but the result was, truly, beside the point on this evening. “It was pretty emotional,” Murray said about the postmatch tribute. “Watching the video was nice, but hard as well, for me. Because you know it’s coming to the end of something that you absolutely loved doing for such a long time. So that was difficult.”
