Andy Murray beats James Blake to win Queen’s Club final

Andy Murray fulfilled his duty to end a seven-decade victory drought for home players to become the first Briton to win the Queen's club title since Bunny Austin in 1938.

Murray defeated James Blake 7-5, 6-4.

"It was a good match, even if there weren't so many rallies," Murray said.

"James is tough and since I'd only played him once, I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm very glad to win."

The world no.3 will now face huge pressure with Wimbledon starting a week from Monday.

The last Briton who lift the Wimbledon title was Fred Perry which dated back in 1936.

"I played well all week and when I had chances I managed to take them," Murray said.

"But I was nervous before the match."

"I guess the only thing now is to try and win a Grand Slam hopefully in a few weeks."

In the meanwhile, it wasn't a bad result for Blake.

Perhaps he can celebrate by getting a clean shave before the Wimbledon starts.

Magdalena Rybarikova bagels Li Na to win in Birmingham

Li Na might look tough with that tattoo but it wasn't helping anyway.

In fact she let Magdalena Rybarikova bageled her in the first set before going down 0-6, 6-7 (2-7) at the Aegon Classic.

This is Rybarikova's first WTA Tour singles title. She earned a first prize of $37,000 and a trophy that almost look like an Aladdin lamp.

To tell you the truth, I'm not really good in remembering women's players especially those with long names and fresh faces like Rybarikova.

So I made an effort to look for her info and to my amazement I found some pretty memorable photoshoot of her.
