Queen's is one of the oldest tennis tournaments in the world, and serves as a warm-up for Wimbledon. Andy Murray has won a record five titles between 2009 and 2016.

History Edit

 
Andy Murray has won five titles at The Queens Club, more than any other player

Originally known as the London Athletic Club Tournament or officially London Athletic Club Open Tournament established in 1881 at Stamford Bridge, Fulham. In 1885 the tournament was given the title of the Championship of London then later London Championships, and it was held on outdoor grass courts.[1] In 1890, the tournament moved to its current location, the Queen's Club and consisted of a men's and women's singles event. In 1903 a men's doubles event was added followed in 1905 by the mixed doubles competition. In 1915 the addition of a women's doubles event completed the programme. The two World Wars interrupted the tournament from 1913 to 1918 and 1940–1946. Between 1970 and 1989 the Championships were part of the Grand Prix tennis circuit. The women's tournament was discontinued after the 1973 edition and from 1974 until 1976 no men's tournament was held.[2] and by this point the tournament was known as the London Grass Court Championships. From 1977 it's been called the Queens Club Championships. The event is currently an ATP Tour 500 series tournament on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour and was upgraded from an ATP World Tour 250 series in 2015.[3][4] The tournament was voted ATP Tournament of the Year for four years consecutively between 2013 and 2014 when it was an ATP 250 tournament and between 2015 and 2016 when it was an ATP 500 tournament. It then won it again in 2018 and 2019.

During the 2004 singles tournament, Andy Roddick set the then world record for the fastest serve, recorded at 153 mph (246.2 km/h) during a straight-set victory over Thailand's Paradorn Srichaphan in the quarter-finals.[5]

In 2016, Andy Murray won the singles title for a record fifth time. Seven men have won four singles titles; Major Ritchie, Anthony Wilding, Roy Emerson, John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Lleyton Hewitt and Andy Roddick.

Schedule Edit

The Queen's Club Championships are held every year in June. They start one week after the clay-court French Open and conclude one week before the start of the grass court Wimbledon Championships, which are held just 4 miles (6 km) away. The equivalent warm-up event for women is the Eastbourne International, although this is held one week later.[citation needed]

Up to 2014, the break between the French Open and Wimbledon was just two weeks, and the Queen's Club Championships started the day after the French Open's men's final. This changed when Wimbledon moved back a week to expand the length of the grass court season.[6]

Grass courts are the least common playing surface for top-level events on the ATP World Tour. The 2009 schedule included only four grass court tournaments in the run-up to Wimbledon. They were the Queen's Club Championships, Gerry Weber Open, Eastbourne International, and the Rosmalen Grass Court Championships. An additional tournament is played on grass in Newport, Rhode Island, USA, in the week immediately after Wimbledon.[citation needed]

Coverage Edit

The BBC has covered the tournament since 1979 and in recent years it has shown the tournament in full after originally only broadcasting the final four days of the event. The BBC has a contract in place until 2024.[7] It broadcasts the event mainly on BBC Two as well as on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sport online. It was shown in High Definition for the first time in 2009.

Since 2018, Amazon Prime[8] has also broadcast from The Queen's Club in the UK.

The ball girls for the Aegon Championships are provided by Nonsuch High School and St Philomena's Catholic High School for Girls, two schools in the London Borough of Sutton.[9]

Sponsorship Edit

From 1979 until 2008, the tournament was sponsored by Stella Artois, and thus called the Stella Artois Championships.[10] In 2009 the tournament was renamed the Aegon Championships following a comprehensive sponsorship deal between Lawn Tennis Association and Aegon, which also led to renaming of Birmingham and Eastbourne grass court events.[11] In 2018, Fever-Tree began sponsoring the tournament. The online car selling website cinch became the title sponsor of the championships in 2021.[12]

Club more than any other playerOriginally known as the London Athletic Club Tournament or officially London Athletic Club Open Tournament established in 1881 at Stamford Bridge Fulham In 1885 the tournament was given the title of the Championship of London then later London Championships and it was held on outdoor grass courts 1 In 1890 the tournament moved to its current location the Queen s Club and consisted of a men s and women s singles event In 1903 a men s doubles event was added followed in 1905 by the mixed doubles competition In 1915 the addition of a women s doubles event completed the programme The two World Wars interrupted the tournament from 1913 to 1918 and 1940 1946 Between 1970 and 1989 the Championships were part of the Grand Prix tennis circuit The women s tournament was discontinued after the 1973 edition and from 1974 until 1976 no men s tournament was held 2 and by this point the tournament was known as the London Grass Court Championships From 1977 it s been called the Queens Club Championships The event is currently an ATP Tour 500 series tournament on the Association of Tennis Professionals ATP Tour and was upgraded from an ATP World Tour 250 series in 2015 3 4 The tournament was voted ATP Tournament of the Year for four years consecutively between 2013 and 2014 when it was an ATP 250 tournament and between 2015 and 2016 when it was an ATP 500 tournament It then won it again in 2018 and 2019 During the 2004 singles tournament Andy Roddick set the then world record for the fastest serve recorded at 153 mph 246 2 km h during a straight set victory over Thailand s Paradorn Srichaphan in the quarter finals 5 In 2016 Andy Murray won the singles title for a record fifth time Seven men have won four singles titles Major Ritchie Anthony Wilding Roy Emerson John McEnroe Boris Becker Lleyton Hewitt and Andy Roddick Schedule Edit Centre Court stands at The Queen s Club during the 2005 Queen s Club ChampionshipsThe Queen s Club Championships are held every year in June They start one week after the clay court French Open and conclude one week before the start of the grass court Wimbledon Championships which are held just 4 miles 6 km away The equivalent warm up event for women is the Eastbourne International although this is held one week later citation needed Up to 2014 the break between the French Open and Wimbledon was just two weeks and the Queen s Club Championships started the day after the French Open s men s final This changed when Wimbledon moved back a week to expand the length of the grass court season 6 Grass courts are the least common playing surface for top level events on the ATP World Tour The 2009 schedule included only four grass court tournaments in the run up to Wimbledon They were the Queen s Club Championships Gerry Weber Open Eastbourne International and the Rosmalen Grass Court Championships An additional tournament is played on grass in Newport Rhode Island USA in the week immediately after Wimbledon citation needed Coverage Edit Marin Cilic being interviewed after winning the 2012 Queen s Club ChampionshipsThis section needs expansion You can help by adding to it June 2013 The BBC has covered the tournament since 1979 and in recent years it has shown the tournament in full after originally only broadcasting the final four days of the event The BBC has a contract in place until 2024 7 It broadcasts the event mainly on BBC Two as well as on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sport online It was shown in High Definition for the first time in 2009 Since 2018 Amazon Prime 8 has also broadcast from The Queen s Club in the UK The ball girls for the Aegon Championships are provided by Nonsuch High School and St Philomena s Catholic High School for Girls two schools in the London Borough of Sutton 9 Sponsorship EditFrom 1979 until 2008 the tournament was sponsored by Stella Artois and thus called the Stella Artois Championships 10 In 2009 the tournament was renamed the Aegon Championships following a comprehensive sponsorship deal between Lawn Tennis Association and Aegon which also led to renaming of Birmingham and Eastbourne grass court events 11 In 2018 Fever Tree began sponsoring the tournament The online car selling website cinch became the title sponsor of the championships in 2021 12 Past finals EditMen s singles Edit Year Champion Runner up Score1881
