Tennis sensation Jamie Murray has been appointed as director of Queen's Club Championships.

Multi-Grand Slam-winning doubles player Jamie Murray is looking to life after tennis after it was confirmed that he has been appointed as tournament director for the cinch Championship at The Queen’s Club next summer.

The Queen’s Club tournament was recently voted by the ATP as the best tournament in its category for the seventh time since 2013. 

The seven-time Grand Slam champion has previously expressed an interest in becoming a tournament director at a major tournament after some experience organising smaller competitions in recent years and now he is moving into the role in one of the most prestigious tournaments in the summer grass court season.

Murray will continue to play as usual on the ATP Tour in 2024, with the exception of not competing during the week of the cinch Championships and the week prior, to finalise preparations for the tournament.

“It’s a real honour to be given this opportunity by the LTA, to work on such a prestigious and well-regarded tournament with the event team during the year, supporting the development and growth of the cinch Championships,” Murray said in a press statement.

“As most people know I have a genuine interest in the events side of the business having started as a tournament director of the Murray Trophy and most recently organising Battle of the Brits in ensuring the best possible experience for the players and fans who attend.”
