Andy Murray's mother Judy was spotted at the Queen's Club on Monday (June 17) ahead of the former World No. 1's opener. She posed in front of a rather animated poster featuring her son, which allowed fans to compare their height and wingspan to his.
Murray is making a sixteenth career appearance at the ATP 500 tournament in London this week. The five-time Queen's Club titlist has received a tough draw as he is set to face big-hitting Aussie Alexei Popyrin in the first round on Tuesday.
Andy Murray, who is in the middle of his swan-song season on the ATP Tour in 2024, will be joined by his family at the grasscourt event. One of the key figures in his support circle, his mother and childhood coach Judy, was evidently in high spirits before what will likely be the three-time Major winner's final appearance at the tournament.
The 64-year-old took to her X (formerly Twitter) account to post a photo of herself in front of a placard that had Murray's body frame with the tagline "How do you compare?". She also tagged her son in the post.
"🤭 @QueensTennis @AndyMurray," Judy Murray wrote on X.
Some basic trivia about Andy Murray was written on it, as well, such as his height, place of birth, year of turning pro, tally of ATP titles, and how he was scouted by Scottish football club Rangers during his childhood.

Judy Murray also reposted a video of the former World No. 1 trading hits with defending champion Carlos Alcaraz at the Queen's Club on Monday, with a befitting caption.
"Kings of Queens," she wrote.
Andy Murray has won a record five titles at the ATP 500 tournament in his past fifteen appearances. The Brit recorded his first triumph in 2009, before following it up with two more title victories in 2011 and 2013. He then did a two-peat in 2015-16, allowing him to overtake the tallies of Andy Roddick and Lleyton Hewitt — both of whom won four titles on the grass courts of London.
Carlos Alcaraz, meanwhile, enjoyed a successful debut at the Queen's Club last year. After dropping a set to qualifier Arthur Rinderknech in his opener, the Spaniard won his next four matches in straight sets to bag his first title on grass. He then won his second Major title at Wimbledon a few weeks later, downing Novak Djokovic in a tumultuous five-set battle in the championship match.
