Queen’s LIVE: Tennis results and update with Andy Murray in action

Was it relief? Or was it just pure joy? Whatever it was, Andy Murray’s reaction to his first Tour win since March was one of his trademark howls towards his box, a huge rush of adrenaline at the sight of a sensation he hasn’t experienced often in 2024: victory.

With his career set to end this summer, he hasn’t put much stock in his own facts and statistics. His mother Judy told him before the match that this was his 1,000th match on the tour and the five-time Queen’s champion raised his standards for the occasion and for the adoring British crowd. He beat Australian qualifier Alexei Popyrin – ranked 81 places above him – in three sets, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 to claim a valuable first-round victory.

His first win at tour level since the hard courts of Miami in late March when he injured his ankle, and his first win since switching from Head to Yonex. Even at the end of his time on the professional market, he is committed to finding any means to gain an advantage.

In the first match of the day on Center Court, Hijikata and Arnaldi are each two games ahead after 16 minutes of play in the opening set.

Rinky Hijikata (AUS) vs. Matteo Arnaldi (ITA)

Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) against Sebastian Korda (USA)

Jordan Thompson (AUS) vs Andy Murray (GBR)

Milos Raonic (CAN) vs Taylor Fritz (USA)

The second round match will be played at the Queen’s Club on Wednesday 19 June. It is the third match of the day on Centre Court and will start at 3pm at the earliest.

It follows the match between third seed Grigor Dimitrov and Sebastian Korda.

Viewers in the UK can follow the action from Queen’s on the BBC’s television platforms, the BBC Sport website and BBC iPlayer.

Television coverage of Wednesday’s play begins on BBC Two at 1pm BST and runs until 6pm.

Andy Murray will face Australian player Jordan Thompson in his second round match at the Queen’s Club on Wednesday.

Murray, a five-time champion at Queen’s, won his first tour match in almost three months with a first-round victory over qualifier Alexei Popyrin on Tuesday, much to the delight of the home crowd celebrating his 1,000th match.

The 37-year-old has admitted this is likely to be his last summer before retirement, with Wimbledon starting on July 1. However, he will not take part in the doubles this week after Dan Evans sustained a knee injury on Tuesday.

Third-seeded Grigor Dimitrov will also be in action at Queen’s on Wednesday, as will fourth-seeded Taylor Fritz of the USA.

Good morning and welcome to The Live coverage and preparation for Andy Murray vs Jordan Thompson at Queen’s in Kensington, London.

Murray survived a difficult first-round match against Alexei Popyrin, who was successful with his strong serve, and will face the Australian later today.
