Andy Murray and brother Jamie beaten in men's doubles as Sue Barker leads tributes to British star on Wimbledon farewell

Andy Murray and his brother Jamie were beaten in the men's doubles on Centre Court as the British tennis legend's Wimbledon farewell began with a defeat.

The two Murrays went down 7-6, 6-4 to Australian duo Rinky Hijikata and John Peers. 

But the contest itself was secondary to the tributes paid to Murray, who is playing his final Wimbledon, after the match.

Retired BBC tennis anchor and former player Sue Barker, 68, made a comeback to pay tribute to Murray on Centre as fans rose to applaud the two-time champion.

Murray was visibly emotional as he was shown a video including messages from the likes of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, with his wife Kim Sears among those in the crowd.

Fans gave Murray, who withdrew from the singles but is playing the mixed doubles with Emma Raducanu, a standing ovation as the British star wiped tears from his eyes.
