Triple Grand Slam Andy Murray hits 1000 match milestone at ATP Tour
ATPTuesday, 18 June 2024 at 20:30
3-times Grand Slam champion Andy Murray reached 1,000 ATP Tour-level matches after defeating Alexei Popyrin in the Queen’s Club Championships. The local hero joins an elite group of only four other active players who have reached this milestone.
Murray secured a win for the first time since the Miami Open in March this year, after missing much of the clay swing and suffering three consecutive first-round defeats. This time, the Australian Popyrin was the victim, with a score of 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.
Murray tops Popyrin in his 1000th Tour-level match
The 5-time Queen’s Club champion won again at the tournament he has conquered the most. As Murray’s retirement approaches, he continues to make history and perform at a high level. At 37 years old, Murray became the 5th active player to reach 1,000 matches on the Tour.

The player with the most matches currently is Novak Djokovic with 1,324, followed by Rafael Nadal with 1,300, both far ahead of their pursuers. Fernando Verdasco reached 1,000 matches at the end of 2022, and Richard Gasquet has so far played 1,004 matches, reaching this milestone in April this year at the Madrid Open.
In his 1,000 matches, Murray has recorded 739 wins and 261 losses, along with 46 titles, including three Grand Slams, 14 Masters 1000, an ATP Finals, and two Olympic gold medals, among other trophies. The former world No. 1 is the 19th player to break the 1,000 match mark.
Murray is currently behind Verdasco and Gasquet in terms of matches played but still far from the top-10, which is closed by Stan Smith with 1,082 matches. The Brit is also the 14th player with the most professional wins (739), still distant from the next on the list, Pete Sampras (762).

Andy Murray’s latest historic achievement:
What this man done while competing with the Big 3 at their Peak should not be underestimated Sir Andy Murray you are a legend 👏👏🥇
Almost winning a title every 20 matches. Some record.
It should always be the big four. He is a force!
Astonishing numbers. A fantastic player that will never be forgotten. Bravo Andy Murray.
Even more impressive considering his awful injury.
Imagine how many more he’d have if he played “normally” and not have to stop mid way through 2017
Very good win for Andy Murray! Needs a good draw at Wimbledon, and looks like he is healthy and ready to compete!
Looked very good!
1000 and counting??? @andy_murray has played his 1000 career match and he had a win. He has defeated Alexei Popyrin 63 36 63 in the first round at Queen's, a tournament he has won 5 times. However, this is likely to be his last time playing the event as he looks to retire.
1000 career matches and still fighting on court after everything😭…,,andrew barron murray you are crazy!!!
Isn’t that a great winning percentage? Well done Sir Andy
It’s Andy’s 1,000 match and Andy’s complaining about the camera. Never change Sir Andy Murray. Never change.
