GRAND CAREER.BUT THE FINAL NUMBER STILL A MYSTERY...

ANDY MURRAY will reach the milestone of his 1,000th ATP match today while admitting he still does not know how many more he will play.

The Scot takes on Aussie Alexei Popyrin in the first round of the Cinch Championships at Queen's Club - the West London venue where he won his first Tour-level match as a teenager back in 2005.

But Murray, now 37, has yet to confirm where and when he will play his last.

In February, the former world No.1 announced he will "likely" not keep playing "past this summer" with Wimbledon and the Olympics the favourite locations for his final farewell.

But Murray is still not ready to commit to a definite date.

"A lot of it is based on results and physically how I am feeling as well," he said.

The All England Club said last week they had plans to honour the double Wimbledon champion, if he confirms he will retire.
