Murray tops Blake
June 15, 2009, 7:08 AM /
Andy Murray defeated James Blake, 7-5, 6-4, to win the Aegon Championships at London’s Queen’s Club for his first grass court title.
The top-seeded Murray became the first British player to win the tournament since Bunny Austin in 1938, who then went on to become the last Briton to reach the Wimbledon final.
“I was quite nervous,” Murray said. “People were telling me that no [Briton] had won here for 70-odd years so that got the nerves going, especially when I was serving for the match.”
In Halle, Germany, Tommy Haas upset Novak Djokovic, 6-3, 6-7 (4), 6-1, to win the Gerry Weber Open for his first grass court title.
