Murray, 36, got a standing ovation on Centre Court after a remarkable tribute to the former world No1 following what could be his second-last match ever at the tournament.

The Scot lost in the with brother Jamie, exiting 7-6 6-4 to Australians Rinky Hijikata and John Peers.  

So having withdrawn from the singles, it's all on the mixed doubles with Emma Raducanu - starting, and he hopes not ending, on Saturday.

And aside from telling iconic BBC presenter Sue Barker on her return that retiring from the court will be devastatingly difficult, he hinted at what could come next for him - off the court.

Asked by Barker if he'll be seen on Wimbledon again after quitting playing, Murray said: "I'm not never going to come back!"

And when questioned about a possible new job he suggested helping other players rather than dishing out opinions might be his forte.

He said: "I'd probably be more comfortable sitting up there in the coaching  box."

And when questioned on commentating, he confessed he was unhappy during his first stab at it - alongside fellow Wimbledon legends John McEnroe and Tim Henman.

Pressed by Barker on whether he'd really disliked it, he added: "I didn't!

"Not because of the people I did it with but it was the match, an unbelievable match - Nadal/Del Potro, four and a half hours.

"Amazing tennis but it's a long time to stick in the commentary box... the timing, it was a long time to be in there and I didn't enjoy it that much."

But mostly Murray focused on how gutted he'll be to finally put his racket will be.

He said: “It’s hard because I’d love to play but I can’t. 

“Physically, it’s too tough now, all of the injuries, they have added up, they have not been insignificant.

“I want to play forever. I love the sport, it has given me so much, taught me loads of lessons over the years. I don’t want to stop. So, it’s hard.”
