Andy Murray joined the prestigious company of great champions like John McEnroe and Boris Becker as a four-time Queen's Club champion after recording a solid victory over Kevin Anderson in the final on Sunday. Murray needed just 64 minutes to wrap things up as he won 6-3 6-4. The victory is even more impressive as Murray had already played most of the semi-final against Troicki a few hours earlier, winning 6-3 7-6 (7-4).
"I played better as the week went on and hopefully I can continue that into Wimbledon," Murray said. "I tried to play each point and come up with some great shots. I had to play that way if I wanted to win today." The Scot had won the Queen's club title in 2009, 2011 and 2013. Two years ago he also won the Grand Slam tournament at Wimbledon.
"It's great preparation obviously, but I think it has only happened six times where someone has won Queen's and gone on to win Wimbledon," Murray added. "There are no guarantees that winning here gives you a Wimbledon title." This was his 34th career title and his fourth at the Queen's Club, the venue where he claimed his first ever ATP match win 10 years ago. "I need to train well the next five, six days, prepare as well as I can," said Murray. "It gives me that little bit of confidence going in there. It's been a really good start, but it's a long way to go before Wimbledon even starts, and then all sorts of things can happen during Slams."
Wimbledon starts next week, here are the outright odds for the top five favourites at Bet365:
Novak Djokovic - 2.25 Andy Murray - 3.75 Roger Federer - 7.00 Rafael Nadal - 13.00 Stan Wawrinka - 15.00

Andy Murray is not even close to win at Wimbledon I must say because I read that some of you guys think that he could win this tournament. I think that he is in great form but he still have problems in his head when he plays important matches special against Djokovic, Federer or Nadal. Semi finals are his maximum for this...

Murray is in great form since he is married and I think that his wife get along with him for sure :) but all joke on the side that is true. Since that he have only one loss and I think that on Wimbledon he is even first favorite. People in London love him and he will have the biggest support from fans on Wimbledon. I think...

I think that this is big chance to him to win another Grand Slam.

After Djokovic,Murray is second favourite definitely.Of course,when it comes to Wimbledon no one can forget Federer,but I dont think that he could go all the way and win the title. The draw will be very important ,potentially Djokvoic or Federer could face Nadal and Murray before the final.

Murray could be main favorite for Wimbledon this year. He plays with every day better and better, and it's obvious that he tempered his form for this tournament. Also, that is his home turf, so it will be easier for him to play there. He will have great competition in Djokovic in Vavrinka, but he is main favorite for me

I totally agree with sharpe, I didn't expected anything else from Queens Club Tournament but Murray's win. Grass is his favorite ground and also he is playing very well this season. This "smaller" tournaments are great for "warming up" for this players from TOP 10 on ATP list in front of Wimbledon, and I can't wait for...

I remember when Roddick won on this tournament, they was sure that this is a way to win on Wimbledon. Every years Federer defeated him. I think that Novak is a favorite to won Wimbledon this year. And only Federer can beat him on grass.

Murray is very good grass court player.He has two things that are necessery to win a trophy on the grass.He has big serve and good forehand.He will be big threat on Wimbledon.I am sure he can go all the way to the title.It wont be easy,but Murray is in very good form this season so it would not be surprise to see him again...

It was not a surprising result that Murray clinch yet another title at Queens club. That one was maybe one of the easiest wins on this tournament and Andy can now look to the upcoming Wimbledon with great hopes. I think he will be one of the huge favourites out there and with the form on grass that he shown on Queens there...

That one was maybe one of the easiest wins on this tournament and Andy can now look to the upcoming Wimbledon with great hopes. I think he will be one of the huge favourites out there and with the form on grass that he shown on Queens there are just a few players who are capable to defeat him there.
