Queen’s LIVE: Tennis scores and update with Andy Murray in action
Andy Murray got what is likely to be his final appearance at Queen’s Club off to a win and will take on Jordan Thompson in the second round.
Murray, a former world number one, earned a hard-fought 6-3 3-6 6-3 win over Alexei Popyrin on Tuesday to progress in the tournament.
The 37-year-old has dropped out of the world’s top 100, and the win over Popyrin was only his seventh of the season as he has continued to fight against ruptured ankle ligaments in March and a back injury.
Murray has won Queen’s a record five times, but is not expected to extend his career beyond Wimbledon and the summer Olympics in Paris.
Thompson is currently ranked 43 in the world, but has been as high as 32, and the 30-year-old has won one title this year.

What time is Andy Murray v Jordan Thompson? Queen’s day 3 order of play and how to watch on TV
Andy Murray takes on Australian player Jordan Thompson in his second-round match at Queen’s Club on Wednesday.
Murray, a five-time champion at Queen’s, won his first tour-level match in nearly three months with a first-round win on Tuesday against qualifier Alexei Popyrin, much to the joy of the home crowd on the occasion of his 1,000th match.
The 37-year-old has admitted that this is likely to be his final summer before retirement, with Wimbledon starting on 1 July, but he won’t take part in the doubles this week after Dan Evans sustained a knee injury on Tuesday.
Third seed Grigor Dimitrov is also in action at Queen’s on Wednesday, as is fourth seed Taylor Fritz from the United States.
