<\/p>\n

Jamie Murray has taken on a new role in tennis after it was announced that he would be the new tournament director at Queen\u2019s. 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\u2019t be heading into retirement to take the new Queen\u2019s job as he previously shared his plans to compete through 2024 with Express Sport.<\/p>\n

The LTA announced on Wednesday that seven-time doubles Grand Slam champion Murray would head up the ATP 500 event staged at the Queen\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Fans don\u2019t 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\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s the plan. I think we\u2019ve both enjoyed this year, getting stuck in together,\u201d the elder Murray brother told Express Sport at the end of the 2023 season. \u201cKind 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reflecting on his first full year playing with the Kiwi, he continued: \u201cI think we did a decent job. I\u2019m sure all teams say the same, like lost a few close matches that maybe we could\u2019ve done better in that maybe would\u2019ve put us in a better position for the race but I think for us for a first season, it\u2019s been very solid.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike, we\u2019ve won matches in all the Masters, we didn\u2019t do well enough really in the Grand Slams but I think overall we\u2019ve won a lot of matches, we\u2019ve competed hard, played a lot of tennis. Hopefully that benefits us for next year.\u201d And Murray is hoping that an improvement at the Majors could help him lift another Grand Slam title.<\/p>\n

The Brit has two men\u2019s doubles trophies and five mixed doubles crowns to his name, with his latest victory coming alongside Bethanie Mattek-Sands at the 2019 US Open. Explaining whether he and Venus could become Grand Slam champions next season, he added: \u201cI think so.<\/p>\n
