AFTER the tearful farewell came the comeback, Andy Murray returning through the gates of the All England Club today.
Wimbledon officials and the BBC produced a fitting on-court tribute to the two-time champion as he wiped away the tears — like so many others — on Centre Court last night.
They knew he would be returning for tomorrow’s mixed doubles with Emma Raducanu, but it had been agreed that last night would be the official hurrah.
On court, his great rivals and friends paid tribute, while Novak Djokovic, Cameron Norrie and Jack Draper stayed on admirably late after their matches to pay their respects.
At points, it was almost too much for Murray as he paid tribute to his team, wife Kim and the couple’s children, two of whom were in his box, a nice surprise he only knew about when he cast his eyes towards the television as he was preparing to come on court for the doubles with brother Jamie.
