Andy Murray showed his top form today against James Blake at the AEGON Championships. He beat the American with a score of 75 64 and became the first Briton to win the tournament in 71 years. Murray will next hope to take the Wimbledon title which a British man is yet to win in 73 years.
“It's pretty special,” reflected Murray. “There have been some great grass-court players from Britain the last 70-odd years. Tim (Henman) and Greg (Rusedski) were both very good grass-court players. The names that are on the trophy, there's a lot of great, great players. So to be on that trophy is great. Obviously because it's not happened that a British player has won for so long, that makes it nicer.”
Novak Djokovic was shocked today by local favourite Tommy Haas as he was beaten in three sets with a score of 63 67(4) 61. Haas has ended a title drought of more than two years and has won his first title on grass.
