Battling Murray in earliest Wimbledon exit since 2005

Andy Murray suffered his earliest Wimbledon exit in 16 years on Friday when the two-time champion was knocked out in the third round by world number 12 Denis Shapovalov.

Murray, who has been involved in a lengthy fight against hip and groin injuries and is now ranked at 118, went down 6-4, 6-2, 6-2.

It was the first time the 2013 and 2016 champion had lost in the third round at the All England Club since his debut as an 18-year-old in 2005. (AFP)
