Andy Murray talking at The Queen's Club

Queens Club

I love this time this year, usually after a grand slam finishes life seems boring for a while but this month is packed with tennis. Straight after the French Open it's off to Queens Club with a month of lawn tennis. It starts at 12.30 pm, here is the order of play.

Looks like a good line up, hope you all enjoy it! 

Great Final

Congratulations to Rafael Nadal for achieving his 6th French Open title to equal  Bjorn Borg's record. After a slow start and a set point against him he managed to come back and win in 4 sets. Looking forward to Queens Club now starting tomorrow!

Men's Final

I'm really looking forward to the French Open final this afternoon. I thought Djokovic would most likely be playing Nadal but Federer seems to be more or less back to his old self. They both have a lot to play for, Federer trying to gain his 17th grand slam title and Nadal will equal Borg's record of six French Open titles.
