Jamie Murray named tournament director of cinch Championships at Queen's Club

Jamie Murray has been named as the new tournament director of the cinch Championships at Queen's Club.

The 37-year-old joins Laura Robson, who became tournament director at Nottingham last year, in moving behind the scenes, although he will continue to play in 2024 barring Queen's and the week before.

Murray said: "It's a real honour to be given this opportunity by the LTA (Lawn Tennis Association), 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 has already had experience as a tournament director having organised the Battle of the Brits event between Scotland and England in Aberdeen last December.

He is currently ranked 16th in the world in doubles and won four titles this year with partner Michael Venus.

The cinch Championships, which runs from June 17-23 next summer, was recently voted as the best ATP tournament in its category for the seventh time in the last decade.
