Two-times men’s champion will still take part in the doubles competition with his brother Jamie Murray
Tennis fans were eager to see Andy Murray’s Wimbledon swan song. But as thousands of fans began pouring into SW19 for the chance to see him, they faced disappointment after it was announced he would not be playing in the men’s singles tournament.
Charles Bowden, 32, and Kelly Ann Ethell, 24, were especially keen, having camped out since 2pm the day before to secure tickets. “I’m gutted. I got a Centre Court ticket hoping to see him,” said Bowden.
