Andy Murray (No. 129 in the ATP world ranking) jumped onto the court Queen’s in his debut in the London tournament against the Australian Alexei Popyrin (No. 48) and achieved a rare milestone in the world of tennis: reaching 1,000 matches as a professional player.
At 37 years old, the Scot joins a select club in which there are only four other players with this figure or higher: Richard Gasquet (1004), Fernando Verdasco (1006), Rafael Nadal (1300) and Novak Djokovic (1324).
Throughout these 1000 games played, Sir Andy won 738 victories, 46 titles (three Grand Slams and 14 Masters 1000), It was 41 weeks No. 1 in the world (between November 7, 2016 and August 20, 2017) and won two Olympic gold medals (London 2012 and Rio de Janeiro 2016).
In 2024 it is not going through its best year: He only won five games in the season and his best result in a tournament occurred in Miamiwhere he reached the third round.
