Both pairings were given a huge ovation by an enthralled crowd on court two, who were sad to see the Murray and Williams partnership end but delighted for their inspired opponents.

France's Harmony Tan prevailed by a score of 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7) to the 40-year-old American tennis player in an extremely exciting game where Serena Williams' younger sister could not close out a match on her serve in the third set and also lost 4-0 leads in the final tiebreak.
