Jamie Murray appointed tournament director at Queen’s

Former world doubles No 1 Jamie Murray has been appointed the tournament director of the cinch Championships, better known as Queen’s.

A champion 26 times on the ATP doubles circuit, Murray has also organised the Battle of the Brits plus the Murray Trophy, and will continue to play on the tour, except for the week before and the week of Queen’s.

“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.”
