There were tumbles, tears and even speculation that time was up for some of the big names at Wimbledon. AFP Sport looks back at some of the biggest talking points of the tournament:
Murray memento
The crowd may have cheered Andy Murray to the rafters as he showed his mental resilience and flashes of his old brilliance, but at the end it was not enough to see the former world No 1 into the second week.
"Is it worth it?" mused two-time champion Murray after his straight-sets third-round defeat to world No 12 Denis Shapovalov.
The two-time Wimbledon champion, who has been fighting hip and groin injuries, sets himself far higher goals than just being there to entertain the fans.
