Murray Set to Donate Queen's Club Prize Money to



You probably don’t need another reason to root for Andy Murray at Queen’s Club, but in case you do this will surely be it. Murray is set to donate his prize money from this week’s Aegon Championships to the fund supporting victims of the Grenfell tower disaster.

The fire in the North Kensington section of West London left 12 dead and around 80 more hospitalized.

If Murray wins a sixth title at London’s Queen’s Club it would mean a donation of £350,000 would go to the relief effort.

Tournament organizers at the Queen’s Club confirmed Murray’s intentions, but the Scotsman’s team want to keep it a private matter. It isn’t the first time Murray has turned his money from the Aegon Championships to charity. In 2013 he gave his winners’ purse to Royal Marsden cancer hospital, after his friend and fellow player Ross Hutchins was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

The five-time champion and world No.1 will open his bid for a sixth title on Sunday when he faces Aljaz Bedene in his first-round match.
