Murray will be present at Queen's in June to inaugurate the court named after him

A legendary name in tennis, Andy Murray has been retired for nearly a year. The Scottish player, who will turn 38 on May 15, left his mark on the sport by winning 3 Grand Slams, 14 Masters 1000 titles, the Davis Cup, the ATP Finals, and two Olympic gold medals in singles during his career—all while reaching the world No. 1 ranking in the same era as the Big 3.

After playing the final tournament of his career in doubles at the Paris Olympics, Murray—whose last seven years were plagued by a serious hip injury—hung up his racket. Months later, he became Novak Djokovic’s new coach.

The two announced the end of their collaboration this Tuesday, but the Scot hasn’t strayed far from the courts. In fact, in recent months, the Queen’s tournament—which Murray won five times (2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2016)—decided to rename its center court the "Andy Murray Arena" in honor of its champion.

Murray will be present in London on June 9, the first day of the tournament (which also marks the return of the women’s edition for the first time since the 1970s), where he will be celebrated as he inaugurates the court that now bears his name.

In a symbolic twist, Andy Murray played the final singles match of his career at Queen’s in June 2024, where he suffered a back injury during warm-up before his second-round match against Jordan Thompson.
