Queen's Club Championships past winners

Britain's Andy Murray is the most successful players at Queen's with five wins - in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2016.

Seven men have won four singles titles; Major Ritchie, Anthony Wilding, Roy Emerson, John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Lleyton Hewitt and Andy Roddick.

Other famous winners include Rod Laver, Jimmy Connors, Stefan Edberg, Pete Sampras and Rafael Nadal.

In Murray's record breaking fifth title win things did not look good for the Scot. Canada's Milos Raonic took the first set and led 3-0 in the second, but Murray rallied to win 6-7 6-4 6-3.

Ivan Lendl won the event in both 1989 and 1990, his first success coming five years after McEnroe had collected his fourth and final crown.

Lendl and McEnroe met 33 times in their careers and their battles were an enduring image of the 1980s and early 1990s. Their only Queen's clash was in 1990, with Lendl winning 6-2 6-4 in the last four before defeating Becker in the final.
