- Brothers beaten by Rinky Hijikata and John Peers
- Australian pair win 7-6 (6), 6-4 on Centre Court
Andy and Jamie Murray spent their formative childhood years playing tennis at their local tennis club in Dunblane, where their mother, Judy, was the club coach. They were often the youngest players on the court and as they grew into the sport, sharpening their tools against bigger and stronger opponents, they were sustained by dreams of one day making it all the way to Wimbledon.
After years of surpassing those dreams many times, for the first time in their careers Andy and Jamie competed on the same side of the net at Wimbledon as Andy began his long, emotional farewell to Wimbledon after 19 incredible years. Despite the strong opposition they put up with Andy’s considerable limitations, Andy and Jamie Murray were defeated 7-6 (6), 6-4 by Rinky Hijikata and John Peers in the dying light on Centre Court.
