The Murray brothers, Andy and Jamie, were eliminated directly in Wimbledon's men's doubles.

Afterwards, it became emotional when Andy was greatly praised by several legends.

No singles play. But instead, both mixed doubles and men's doubles. That was tennis star Andy Murray's message ahead of this year's Wimbledon.

In the men's doubles, he plays together with his older brother Jamie Murray – and it was a quick exit already in the first match. The Australian duo Rinky Hijikata and John Peers were too strong and won with 7–6 (8–6), 6–4 on Thursday evening.

Afterwards, 37-year-old Andy was happy to have played together with his brother.

It was very special. We've never had the opportunity to do that before and this year it worked out. He asked me and it became a bit of a race against time to get here. So I'm glad we got to do this together once, says Murray.

Murray has previously stated that this will be his last appearance in Wimbledon. The plan is to retire after the summer's OS in Paris.

After the match, a tribute video was shown where several tennis legends – including Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal – said nice things about Murray.

We're all proud to have played against you, said Nadal.

An emotional moment where tears ran down Murray's cheeks.

But it's not entirely over in Wimbledon yet. The mixed doubles, where Murray will play together with Emma Raducanu, has not yet begun.
