British tennis great Andy Murray’s last hurrah at Wimbledon has come to an anti-climactic end after Emma Raducanu withdrew from the mixed doubles event on Saturday.
The 37-year-old Murray, a two-time Wimbledon champion, played in what has turned out to be his final match at the grass court Grand Slam this week when he and his brother, Jamie, lost 7-6 (8-6) 6-4 to Australian pair John Peers and Rinky Hijikata in the first round of the men’s doubles on Thursday.
