British hopes for a home-grown Wimbledon champion were crushed when Scottish Andy Murray crashed out of the tournament.
In a tough-fought semi-final battle, 22 year-old Murray from Dunblane, lost out to fast-serving Andy Roddick 6-4 4-6 7-6 7-6 in three hours seven minutes.
The 26-year-old American dropped to his knees as he won the match before appearing to mouth "I'm sorry" to the crowd.
