Andy Murray Begins Wimbledon Farewell in Doubles

Posted : 04 July 2024

Andy Murray, alongside his brother Jamie, begins his Wimbledon farewell in the men's doubles on Thursday, while Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek aim for the third round. Murray, the 2013 and 2016 champion, hoped to compete in singles but recent surgery to remove a spinal cyst thwarted his plans. Despite this setback, the former world No. 1 will still have a chance to bid farewell to his fans in both the men's and mixed doubles, 19 years after his Wimbledon debut.

 

Murray expressed his desire for closure, hoping to play once more on Centre Court and experience the excitement of the crowd. Known for his three Grand Slam singles titles, Murray also has a strong doubles background, having teamed up with Jamie to secure Britain's 2015 Davis Cup victory.

 

The Murray brothers will face Australians Rinky Hijikata and John Peers, with expectations of a lively match. Additionally, Andy Murray is set to play mixed doubles with fellow Brit and former US Open champion, Emma Raducanu.

 

Meanwhile, seven-time champion Novak Djokovic continues his Wimbledon campaign against British newcomer Jacob Fearnley. Despite concerns following his knee operation post-French Open, Djokovic showcased his enduring strength by easily defeating Czech qualifier Vit Kopriva in the first round.

 

The world No. 2 aims to equal Roger Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles and achieve a 25th Grand Slam victory. Djokovic, unfazed by the prospect of facing Fearnley, acknowledged the challenge of playing a British player at Wimbledon but looked forward to the match.

 

Women's world No. 1 Iga Swiatek, on a 20-match winning streak, seeks to advance past the quarterfinals for the first time at Wimbledon. After defeating Sofia Kenin, she will face Croatia's Petra Martic on Centre Court following Djokovic's match. British players will dominate Court No. 1 early on, with Katie Boulter against Harriet Dart, followed by Jack Draper facing Cameron Norrie.

 

The court’s lineup concludes with French Open runner-up Alexander Zverev taking on American Marcos Giron. Elsewhere, 2022 women's champion Elena Rybakina will compete against Laura Siegemund, and two-time finalist Ons Jabeur will play against US qualifier Robin Montgomery.
