Murray takes on Queens
ByAndy Murray will compete at the AEGON Championship at Queens Club in a bid to make sure he can create some grass-court momentum to take into Wimbledon. The 23-year old has had recent success at Queens with the title in 2009, becoming the first Brit to lift the trophy since Henry Austin in 1938. His performance at Wimbledon the following week saw Murray record a semi-final finish, and the Scot is a big fan of competing at Queens and preparing his game before heading to the All England Club. Those following the Wimbledon odds should keep a close eye on his efforts at Queens to see what sort of shape he’s in.
Murray’s defence of his title last year at the tournament was ended by Mardy Fish in the last-16 stage and the Dunblane born star will be looking to bounce back this year, as he once again looks to give himself every chance of finally reaching a Wimbledon final. The Scot expressed his excitement at signing up for the event once again, and admitted he is well aware of the importance of doing well at Queens and reaching the latter stages at Wimbledon.
“Winning my first grass court title here in 2009 was an amazing feeling,” said Murray at the announcement at the Queen’s Club,” he said.
“The Queen’s Club has some of the best grass courts in the world, there are packed crowds every year and there is always a great atmosphere.”
Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic will be other big names that will be attending the event, and Murray will certainly have his work cut out as he looks to recreate his success from two years ago.
