Kings of Queen's and Wimbledon: Six players to do the grass court double

Queen’s is often used as an indicator for how players might go on and fare at the All England Club

LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 10: Andy Murray of Great Britain lifts the trophy following victory in the Men's Singles Final against Milos Raonic of Canada on day thirteen of the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 10, 2016 in London, England.

Andy Murray – 2016. A record five-time champion at Queen’s Club, so it is only fitting that he achieved the double the year that made him the tournament’s most successful player. It was far from straightforward for the British No 1, though. He trailed the big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic by a set and 3-0 in the final, before earning successive breaks to take control of the match. Murray went on to win 6-7, 6-4, 6-3. He would then meet Raonic again a few weeks later in the Wimbledon final, this time cruising to a 6-4, 7-6, 7-6 win for his second title at the All England Club. Getty Images

Given the strength of the field each year and the fact it is one of the final tournaments before Wimbledon, Queen’s is often used as an indicator for how players might go on and fare at the All England Club.

The Queen’s honour roll is filled with Wimbledon champions but only seven times since 1968 and the start of the Open era have players done the Queen’s-Wimbledon double, with just one player to achieve it more than once.
