Jamie Murray has given big hint on 2024 tennis plans before taking on new role – EXCLUSIVE

Jamie Murray has taken on a new role in tennis after it was announced that he would be the new tournament director at Queen’s. It means that the 37-year-old will no longer be able to compete in the cinch Championships, or in the week before the event. However, the elder Murray brother won’t be heading into retirement to take the new Queen’s job as he previously shared his plans to compete through 2024 with Express Sport.

The LTA announced on Wednesday that seven-time doubles Grand Slam champion Murray would head up the ATP 500 event staged at the Queen’s Club in the lead-up to Wimbledon. It comes after he successfully staged multiple editions of the Battle of the Brits exhibition, which saw the likes of Andy Murray and Jack Draper compete in teams.

Fans don’t have to worry about whether Murray will give up his doubles career for his new tournament director role though, as the current world No 16 had already shared his goals for next season before the announcement and isn’t planning to stop playing. Murray linked up with Michael Venus to form a formidable pairing this year and they are set to continue into 2024.

“I think that’s the plan. I think we’ve both enjoyed this year, getting stuck in together,” the elder Murray brother told Express Sport at the end of the 2023 season. “Kind of got a good team around us, both live in and around London and stuff so we can train together outside of the tournaments which I think is beneficial for us.”
