Andy Murray: “I am very grateful for who decided to name the stadium after me”
The main land within the complex was called Andy Murray Arena, and the triple Grand Slam winner was not late to thank for this gesture.
“This tournament and this field come with many memories for me as a player. At this tournament I won my first match in the ATP circuit and it was my most successful tournament.
I always love to go back here at the beginning of the British summer. I am very proud of the results I have here and very grateful and satisfied for whom he decided to name the stadium after me“Murray said, according to The Guardian.
The British played a little, to the delight of the fans, and before this moment he did not hesitate to joke in his characteristic style:
“It's excellent. Obviously, I missed being on the field. It's the first time after I wasn't involved in the grass season. But now I have a new life and I'm glad to be away from sport for a period.
My tennis is diabolical these days so I present my apologies for what you will see. I will try“Murray said.

Queen's will first host a female circuit tour in 52
In 2025, for the first time in 52 years, a tournament in the female circuit will be organized again. The last female competition held here took place in 1973 and was won by the Soviet Olga Morozova.
“I think it's fantastic. I just met the last winner here, Olga Morozova, who really trained me when I was 12, 13. She is the last winner from here, 52 years ago, which is incredible.
Many fantastic matches were played on this field and I think it is a big chance for women to assert themselves, “said Murray, who threw money before the confrontation between Petra Kvitova and Beatriz Haddad Maia, from the first round of HSBC Championships.
