Andy Murray is the Queen's champion for the third time in his career after defeating defending champion Marin Cilic in three sets.
Thought it would be interesting to see how the winner of Queen's has got on at Wimbledon a couple of weeks later over recent years.
1990
Queen's winner-Ivan Lendl (semis at Wimbledon)
1991
Queen's winner-Stefan Edberg (semis at Wimbledon)
1992
Queen's winner-Wayne Ferreira (fourth round at Wimbledon)
1993
Queen's winner-Michael Stich (quarter finals at Wimbledon)
1994
Queen's winner-Todd Martin (semis at Wimbledon)
1995
Queen's winner-Pete Sampras (Wimbledon champion)
1996
Queen's winner-Boris Becker (third round at Wimbledon due to retirement)
1997
Queen's winner-Mark Philippoussis (first round at Wimbledon)
1998
Queen's winner-Scott Draper (second round at Wimbledon)
1999
Queen's winner-Pete Sampras (Wimbledon champion)
2000
Queen's winner-Lleyton Hewitt (first round at Wimbledon)
2001
Queen's winner-Lleyton Hewitt (fourth round at Wimbledon)
2002
Queen's winner-Lleyton Hewitt (Wimbledon champion)
2003
Queen's winner-Andy Roddick (semis at Wimbledon)
2004
Queen's winner-Andy Roddick (runner up at Wimbledon)
2005
Queen's winner-Andy Roddick (runner up at Wimbledon)
2006
Queen's winner-Lleyton Hewitt (quarter finals at Wimbledon)
2007
Queen's winner-Andy Roddick (quarter finals at Wimbledon)
2008
Queen's winner-Rafael Nadal (Wimbledon champion)
2009
Queen's winner-Andy Murray (semis at Wimbledon)
2010
Queen's winner-Sam Querrey (fourth round at Wimbledon)
2011
Queen's winner-Andy Murray (semis at Wimbledon)
2012
Queen's winner-Marin Cilic (fourth round at Wimbledon)
2013
Queen's winner-Andy Murray (???)
So only on four occasions since 1990 has the winner of Queen's gone on to win a couple of weeks later at Wimbledon.
Probably not the best omen for Andy Murray but it's still good to see him back to winning ways after his injury lay-off.
Roger Federer won the other grass court event in Halle after defeating Mikhail Youzhny in three sets.
