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.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
