Queens Club Championships

Overview
Held at the Queens Club in West Kensington since 1890, the tournament is one of the oldest in tennis and a traditional preparation event for Wimbledon. Its grass courts have produced many champions who went on to win at the All England Club. Andy Murray won the singles title a record five times, and the tournament remains a highlight of the British grass season.
