• Murray and Pierre-Hugues Herbert lost in men’s doubles
Serena Williams and Andy Murray are not ready for the exhibition tour just yet, but their smiles and laughter lent Centre Court an old-fashioned carnival atmosphere on Saturday evening as they enjoyed the occasion as much as the result to win their first mixed doubles match together.
On a day when Fabio Fognini outdid himself by calling for Wimbledon to be bombed (seriously), and two days after Bernard Tomic had to surrender his first-round purse for not trying, it was a joyous counterpoint, a night of nostalgia and the flowering of an historic association that might yet last all the way to the last match of the fortnight – with four more serious examinations to come first.
