Queen’s Club Immortalizes Sir Andy Murray: Legend Opens Newly Named Andy Murray Arena – Hilariously Admits His Current Tennis is ‘Diabolical’
Queen’s Club has honored Sir Andy Murray by renaming Centre Court the Andy Murray Arena, celebrating his record five titles there. The retired legend officially opened it in June 2025, joking about his “diabolical” post-retirement tennis during a light-hearted hit.
“This court has special moments—my first ATP win, most successful event,” Murray said gratefully. He rallied with Laura Robson and juniors, apologizing preemptively: “My tennis is diabolical nowadays—sorry for what you’re about to see!”
The tribute fits Murray’s legacy: grass-court mastery, women’s tennis advocacy (fitting the inaugural WTA event). Now golf-obsessed (low single-figure handicap), family-centered, and reflective (education regrets, Hoy tears), he embraces life beyond pro play.
From fierce competitor to cherished icon—Queen’s immortalization seals it. Diabolical tennis? Maybe. Legendary impact? Undeniable.
