Andy Murray wins record fifth Queen's title

DHAKA: Britain's Andy Murray took apart Milos Raonic's huge serve to become the first man to win the Queen's Club title five times.

Raonic led by a set and 3-0 before Murray became the first player this week to break the Canadian's serve, doing so twice in chain, BBC reports on Monday (June 20).

The top seed and defending champion went on to win 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 6-3.

The Scot overtakes the likes of John McEnroe, Boris Becker and Roy Emerson with five Aegon Championships titles.

McEnroe was courtside for the final in his role as coach to Raonic, with the American's old adversary Ivan Lendl in the opposite corner after rejoining the Murray camp this week.

‘It was nice of him to stick around for the presentation,’ Murray joked after seeing that Lendl had quickly left the court.

‘It was obviously a good first week back together.’
