Murray's Wimbledon farewell begins with doubles defeat

Andy Murray's farewell appearance at Wimbledon began with a straight-set defeat alongside older brother Jamie in the men's doubles.

The two-time singles champion is playing at the All England Club for the final time before retiring later this year.

The Murray brothers arrived on to Centre Court – which had not hosted a first-round men’s doubles match since 1995 – to a standing ovation.

Another followed moments after they lost 7-6 (8-6) 6-4 to Australian pair John Peers and Rinky Hijikata on Centre Court.

However, 37-year-old Andy is set to appear again later this week, having signed up to the mixed doubles with fellow British Grand Slam champion Emma Raducanu.
