Serena Williams has thanked Andy Murray for "speaking out to much for women" in a social media tribute congratulating him on his "incredible career" in tennis.

Murray, a three-time grand slam champion, is playing in his final Wimbledon and was honoured at a ceremony on Centre Court on Thursday evening. Murray and Williams played mixed doubles together at the All-England Club in 2019, and the American also referenced Murray's grumpy on-court demeanour.
