Andy Murray is a two-time Wimbledon champion and former world No 1; the 37-year-old is making his final appearance at the All England Club;
2005 – Wimbledon bow
An 18-year-old Murray made his senior Wimbledon bow and there were high hopes for the teenager after his victory at the US Open juniors the previous year. Wins over George Bastl and 14th seed Radek Stepanek only added to the hype.
He faced David Nalbandian in the third round and had the former finalist on the ropes – winning the first two sets – and almost on the canvas until cramp set in and Murray eventually lost in five thrilling sets 6-7 (4-7) 1-6 6-0 6-4 6-1.
The teenage wildcard proved his world-class potential on Centre Court and walked off to a standing ovation.
2006 – Below-par performance
Murray returned to Wimbledon the following year as Britain’s No 1. With an ATP Tour title under his belt, he set up a meeting with ever-popular American Andy Roddick in round three.
The home crowd roared the teenager on and he responded in style to comfortably defeat Roddick in straight sets.
He was unable to repeat the feat in the next round, however, as he succumbed to flamboyant Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis 6-3 6-4 7-6 (7-2) in rather subdued fashion on Centre Court.
