“I certainly hope it’s not the case, but we need to treat these moments like we might not get the opportunity again because we’re getting on a bit, and you never know what’s around the corner,” Andy Murray told the BBC.

“It was amazing the whole two days, I’m very proud of Jamie for the event he put on.

“It meant a lot to both of us the way all of the players showed up, competed well and went after it.”
