Andy Murray withdrew from the doubles alongside Cameron Norrie due to fatigue at the Queen's Club Championship.
The former world No. 1 had a perfect two weeks in Surbiton and Nottingham, winning ten consecutive matches and capturing two consecutive challenger titles. However, his strong start to the grass season hasn't been able to continue this week as he returned to compete in the ATP 500 AEGON Championships.
Andy Murray is the most successful player in Queen's Club history with five championships, the last of which came in 2016. Murray also won the doubles trophy, partnering with Feliciano López in 2019. However, this year he suffered a first-round loss to Alex De Minaur by a score of 3-6, 1-6, which ends his streak of ten consecutive wins on grass and also eliminates his chance of being seeded at Wimbledon.
In the doubles draw, Murray was set to compete alongside his compatriot Cameron Norrie, and they were drawn to face the third-seeded team of Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury. However, Murray decided to withdraw before the start of the match due to fatigue, giving Andre Goransson and Ben McLachlan a spot in the doubles draw.
The doubles withdrawal doesn’t t mark the end of Norrie's journey at Queen's, as he is currently in the quarterfinals of the singles draw. The world No. 13, seeded fifth, has already advanced through the first two rounds with victories over Miomir Kecmanovic and Jordan Thompson. In the third round, he will face the winner of the all-American clash between Frances Tiafoe and Sebastian Korda.
