Alas, not even two of the greatest on-screen wizards in Minerva McGonagall and Gandalf the Grey could save the Scottish top seed, who, plagued by a hip injury, crashed out of the competition after losing a five-set thriller with American Sam Querrey.

The sight of the duo enjoying a day out together eased the blow to tennis fans mourning the end of their star man's Wimbledon defence.
