Wimbledon starts next Monday, and the final ATP men's grasscourt warm-up tournament was held all last week here in London. The tournament was The Queen's Club and because of rain on Sunday, the final match between Andy Murray (from England) and Jo Wilfried Tsonga (from France) was postponed to yesterday. Andy had beaten Andy Roddick to reach the final, and Tsonga had beaten Rafeal Nadal. There were 1000 tickets (out of 7000) available, so I decided to show up and stand in the que. Luckily I was able to get a ticket, and it was a great match. Murray started out kinda sluggish, and Tsonga was playing really well and won the 1st set. However, Murray came back and won the 2nd set tie breaker and was able to pull out a win in the 3rd set. It was a really great day.
