Andy Murray has officially played his last match at Wimbledon. On Saturday, his mixed doubles match set for Court No. 1 was canceled. 

Murray's partner, Emma Raducanu, withdrew from mixed doubles due to a wrist injury. They were set to face Zhang Shuai and Marcelo Arevalo in the opening round. 

"Unfortunately I woke up with some stiffness in my right wrist this morning, so therefore I have decided to make the very tough decision to withdraw from the mixed doubles tonight," Raducanu said, via ESPN. "I'm disappointed as I was really looking forward to playing with Andy but I've got to take care."

While it's unfortunate that Raducanu withdrew from this Saturday's match, the reality is she has to preserve her health since she's still alive in the singles draw. She'll face Lulu Sun on Sunday in the Round of 16. 

As for Murray, he'll finish his run at the All England Club as a two-time champion. The 37-year-old won singles titles in 2013 and 2016. 

Murray's final match at Wimbledon was men's doubles with his brother Jamie. 

"It is hard because I would love to keep playing, but I can't. Physically, it's just too tough now," Murray said. "I want to play forever, I love the sport. It's given me so much, taught me loads of lessons over the years that I can use in the rest of my life. I don't want to stop, so it is hard."
