Honouring our greatest Champion 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Introducing for 2025 'The Andy Murray Arena' at The Queen's Club 🏟️
Queen’s Club announced that its central court
will be renamed Andy Murray Court starting in 2025. The club, which hosts the
Queen’s Club Championships (“cinch Championships for sponsorships”), announced
the tribute to the tournament's greatest champion and British legend via social
media.
This Thursday marked the retirement of Andy
Murray after his doubles defeat at Paris 2024. The 3-time Grand Slam champion
paired with Dan Evans and had a strong run to the quarterfinals, but were
eliminated by Americans Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul.

After 19 years of career, Andy Murray bid
farewell to professional tennis at the Olympic Games. The Scottish former world
No. 1 and two-time gold medalist said goodbye in an emotional quarterfinal
match, marking the end of a career filled with achievements.
Murray won 46 titles in his career, including
three Grand Slam titles (2012 US Open and Wimbledon 2013, 2016), 14 Masters
1000 titles, and held the No. 1 ranking for 46 weeks, being the only player to
break the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic dominance for over 15 years.
One of his favourite venues was the Queen’s
Club Championships, where he won 5 titles and is the tournament's most
successful champion, having won in the years: 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2016.
He also secured a doubles title in 2019 with Spaniard Feliciano Lopez.

his retirement was confirmed. Starting in 2025, the Central Court will be named
“The Andy Murray Arena” in honour of the 5-time champion.

Murray's last appearance at Queen’s Club ended
painfully, having to retire from his round of 16 match against Jordan Thompson
due to an injury after just a few games into the first set (1-4). This was his
last official singles match, as he later only appeared in doubles at Wimbledon
and the Olympics. Nevertheless, Murray also achieved his last Tour victory by
defeating Alexei Popyrin in the first round of the tournament.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
- And this is such a shock to WTA?? How many times are they (WTA & ATP) going to keep stepping in their own s*** ???mandoist15-09-2024
