• 1 MINUTE READ
The cinch Championships at The Queen’s Club has won the ATP 500 Tournament of the Year for the third straight season at the 2024 ATP Awards.
It’s the sixth time in nine years that the men’s event at The Queen’s Club has won this award, which is voted for by players to recognise the leading standards set across events on the ATP tour.
The award comes in just the first year that former British No.1 and seven-time Grand Slam winner, Jamie Murray, took charge as Tournament Director.
The 2024 cinch Championships saw USA’s Tommy Paul lift the coveted singles trophy against Lorenzo Musetti – the biggest of his career – making him the ninth American to win the title in the Open Era.
In the doubles, 2023 Wimbledon champion and former world No.1 Neal Skupski flew the flag for Great Britain as he and partner Michael Venus won their first title together after beating Taylor Fritz and Karen Khachanov 4-6, 7-6(5), 10-8.
There was plenty more to celebrate as well, with Britain’s Alfie Hewett winning the wheelchair singles exhibition event as well as the doubles with Gordon Reid.
The learning disability (LD) tennis exhibition at the cinch Championships also saw six players compete over a two-day event – the first of its kind at the tournament.
Chris Pollard, LTA Managing Director - Commercial & Operations said: “We are very pleased to have been voted ATP 500 Tournament of the Year for the third successive year. In 2024, we welcomed Jamie Murray as Tournament Director, whose knowledge of the ATP Tour helped further enhance the experience for players.
"This award is recognition of the hard work that everyone delivering the tournament devotes to providing the highest quality player services, and the collaborative way in which the team works with the Queen’s Club, the ATP and all our sponsors and suppliers. We look forward to delivering new upgrades and innovations to the Tournament in 2025.”
Carlos Alcaraz and Jack Draper have already been announced for the 2025 event, with tickets now on sale.
2025 will see a women’s WTA 500 event hosted at The Queen’s Club for the first time in over 50 years. Tickets will go on sale in the new year.
