Murray made his first Wimbledon singles final in 2012 where he lost to Federer – a defeat which moved the British star to tears and somewhat changed the public’s perception of him.
In 2016, Murray won his second Wimbledon title – a victory which he says was his favorite.
He had hoped to play singles in what would be his last Wimbledon this year but was unable to recover from back surgery last month.
