Andy Murray and Pierre-Hugues Herbert lose in men's doubles at Wimbledon

Andy Murray's Wimbledon campaign in the men's doubles was short-lived after losing alongside his partner Pierre-Hugues Herbert in the second round on Saturday.

Murray, back at the All England Club for the first time since 2017, had dreamed of adding silverware to the two singles titles he has won.

But there was to be no Murray magic on No 2 Court as Croatian pair Nikola Mektic and Franko Skugor sealed victory in four sets, winning 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 6-2 6-3.

The Scot will not have too much time to feel glum as he begins his mixed campaign with Serena Williams later on Saturday, with the super couple due to be on Centre Court.

Murray's marathon Saturday got off to a promising start as he and Herbert won the first set. The fledgling partnership won a first-set tie-break 7-4 against sixth seeds Mektic and Skugor.

They were pegged back in the second set as the Croatian duo broke Herbert's serve at 5-4 to take it.

Murray's serve faltered in the third set as it was breached twice to allow Mektic and Skugor to move a set away from victory.

When they broke in Herbert's first service game of the fourth set, the end was not far away.

Mektic served it out to love to send Murray and Hugues-Herbert packing, allowing the Brit to turn his attention to his partnership with Williams.
