On Sunday, many made the pilgrimage to the west of the capital, steeling themselves to watch what they feared would be Andy Murray's final match, his first round men's doubles tie alongside Dan Evans against Japanese duo Taro Daniel and Kei Nishikori. It turned out Murray was not quite ready to say goodbye. Yesterday was different, though, because now they were coming to say goodbye to the greatest player who has ever graced these courts.
