The umpire announces Andy Murray is on serve and there's a roar on Centre Court... it won't be the last we hear today.

A fine start from Murray to open up a 30-0 lead.

He's serving for the game after Rinky Hijikata fires into the net.

There are going to be a lot of players that are playing in the tournament and I suspect ex-players who will be around this match to show and pay their respects to this great man from Dunblane, Scotland.

It's going to be quite emotional.

Even if Andy Murray loses, there will be quite a celebration awaiting him, I believe.

"Andy Murray to serve..."

Cacophonous cheers.

The anticipation has been building all day for this one.

Andy and Jamie Murray are returning in the opening game.

A gallant effort from the siblings but John Peers and does the job to hold.

So, Andy Murray's Wimbledon farewell starts here... a few days later than anticipated after he withdrew from the men's singles draw, but he is raring to go with brother Jamie in the men's doubles.

Feel free to get in touch as we watch this encounter unfold using the details above!

What does Heather remember about the 2013 Wimbledon final?

Not much! Speeding down the motorway back to London from her daughter’s gymnastics tournament in Birmingham, she made it just in time to see the final game and watch Andy Murray win the Championships for the first time.

“How can you be a tennis fan without being an Andy Murray fan,” Heather said.

“He’s been such a big role model for players in Britain, and look, we’ve had 19 British players this year.”

The majority of fans on Centre Court stand for a good minute or two as the players walk out, giving a loud and emotional ovation to Andy Murray.

They stay on their feet as the Murray brothers step into the middle for the first time.

It's been a rough ride for Andy Murray for quite a few years.

It's been harsh in a lot of ways but he has handled it with class and he is going to handle this exit with class as well.

Andy will manoeuvre his way around the court so that he doesn't do himself too much damage.

Time for a short warm-up for the two pairs - a chance to shake off any final cobwebs - and then we will be under way with this first round men's doubles encounter.

Jack Draper double faults and Cam Norrie is gifted a second chance!

Match point on his serve.

This is an exciting event for Andy Murray, this is a celebration.

I'm not sure if it matters a whole lot if he wins or his loses.

The last time a first-time doubles match was played on Centre Court was 29 years ago.

Obviously, this is a deserving honour for this man who has done so much for our sport.

I'm delighted he has got the chance to to play some matches even though it's not singles.

Clutch! Cam Norrie eyes up a passing winner but Jack Draper brilliantly cuts across to pick the pass and produce a drop-shot volleyed winner.

The Super Murray Bros have arrived.

Those sat opposite the entrance spot them first and alert the rest of us with their cheering.

Andy raises his racquet to the crowd as they walk on.

And now for the long walk through the corridors that snake all around the inside of the Centre Court arena.

Andy Murray and Jamie lead the way with Rinky Hijikata and John Peers following on.

This has to be an emotional moment for Andy, in particular, as he makes his way through the many rooms, each adorned with pieces of history from Wimbledon greats.

He, of course, is up on the winners' board twice for his men's singles victories in 2013 and 2016.

Draper slides a drop shot wide.

Match point.

Cam Norrie has a real chance on Jack Draper's serve but instead mishits a backhand into the net. 5-4 Norrie.

Back on Norrie's serve but oh my, what's this? Norrie double-faults to surrender his tie-break lead.

Draper hits a return long. 4-3 Norrie.

And then British number one Draper completely messes up a gimme forehand, smashing it long and wide. 5-3.

Norrie is two points off the third round.
