Andy Murray competes at Wimbledon for the last time. Serena Williams is one of the tennis stars paying tribute to the Scot
Tennis star Serena Williams (42) has congratulated former world number one Andy Murray (37), who is about to retire, on an “incredible” career. “I have to say, I’ve always enjoyed watching you,” said the former world number one.
