10sBalls_com Editors Note: This Is an amazing event. The venue is fantastic the setting is ideal. It’s an event with a ton of history And A great future and a SUPER NOW (FOMO,Bucket List) event! This is a “Golden Age” of tennis. A must go to! It’s the best organized most exclusive event of its kind. It’s great because you are in central London and you weave your way thru a nice neighborhood and all of a sudden you see the entrance to this tennis Club. We well remember the “Stella” years when all the windscreens and backdrop were fire engine red. The blue took a bit of getting used to. But now we love it too. Speaking of blue. That blue clay was awesome. It needed to be perfected in its composition but it was great for contrast with following the yellow ball.

P.S. We almost forgot. It was also the first tennis tourney to have a concierge in the players lounge. The always on top of things Mr. Fraser Russell “Head Concierge” (LJ)

AEGON CHAMPIONSHIPS – INJURY FORCES TSONGA TO WITHDRAW

 

Jo Wilfried Tsonga has been forced to pull out of the Aegon Championships, which takes place 13th-19th June at The Queen’s Club, because of an adductor injury.

 

Tsonga retired while 5-2 up against Ernests Gulbis in the third round of the French Open, and has been unable to recover in time to take his place in the Aegon Championships draw.

 

“I am very disappointed that this injury means that I will not be able to play in the Aegon Championships at The Queen’s Club,” said Tsonga. “It is one of my favourite tournaments, home of some very happy moments for me on the court – reaching the Top 100 for the first time and playing in the final – and I was looking forward to coming back. I hope to return in the future.”

Stephen Farrow, Tournament Director of the Aegon Championships, said: “I know how excited Jo was about returning to the tournament and it’s a shame that this injury will prevent him from doing so. We wish Jo a speedy recovery and look forward to welcoming him back to The Queen’s Club in future years.”

 

Defending champion Andy Murray will be aiming for a record fifth title when the event gets underway on Monday. He will be challenged Stan Wawrinka, and fellow Top 10 players Milos Raonic and Richard Gasquet. Exciting Australian Nick Kyrgios, the 2014 US Open champion Marin Cilic, and Grigor Dimitrov, who won at The Queen’s Club two years ago, are also part of the line-up.

 

The Aegon Championships was voted Tournament of the Year in its category for the third consecutive year by the players in January, winning the award in its debut year as an ATP-500 event.
