Andy Murray started what might be his final grass court season with a victory over Alexei Popyrin at the Queen's Club, marking his 1,000th ATP match. Despite a tough season marred by injuries, the five-time Queen's champion secured a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 win, demonstrating his enduring skill and determination. This win is particularly significant as it is Murray's first since injuring his ankle in March at the Miami Open. As he contemplates retirement, Murray remains focused on building confidence ahead of Wimbledon. The win sets him up for a second-round match against Jordan Thompson. The tournament also saw strong performances from other players, including Carlos Alcaraz and British No. 1 Jack Draper.
