The AEGON Championships takes place at the historic Queen’s Club in London from 11-17 June 2012.
The tournament marks the start of the grass-court season for many of the world’s top players from the men’s game. It’s one of the world’s premier tennis events, considered by many to be one of the world’s top 10 events and a highlight of our partnership with British Tennis.
Over the years, a good performance at Queen’s has led to success at Wimbledon, with 25 of the last 27 Wimbledon champions having played at the Championships a week before. Connors, Lendl, Edberg and Sampras are among the legends that have proudly lifted the iconic silver Championships trophy.
2011 attracted another strong field including Rafael Nadal, Jo Wilfred Tsonga, three-time winner Andy Roddick and Andy Murray.
British tennis had plenty to cheer about with British number two and Team AEGON player James Ward reaching the semi-finals alongside Andy Murray – the first time in the Open era that two Britons reached the last four.
It was British number one and 2009 Champion Andy Murray who went on to win the tournament after a thrilling final against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, becoming the first British player to win more than once at The Queen's Club since Francis Gordon Lowe in 1925.
The doubles title went to brothers Bob and Mike Bryan, the number one seeds, who beat the number three seeds Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes 6-7, 7-6, 10-6.

As well as tennis, it has courts for squash, real tennis (the game from which tennis evolved) and rackets.
