Andy Murray defeated Marin Cilic for his third Aegon Championships victory at the Queen’s Club in London on Sunday.
The final of the Aegon Championships was delayed by the rain, but that didn’t affect Murray! Murray dominated his Croatian opponent, 5-7 7-5 6-3. Although the Scot lost the first set, he came out on top in the subsequent two sets.
That night, the world No. 2 donated his £73, 315 prize to the Royal Marsden cancer centre, where his best friend, Ross Hutchins, is receiving treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Earlier this year, Murray had a back problem that caused him to miss the French Open. He even had a groin injury scare during the first set! Nevertheless, the U.S. Open champion said he is in great shape and is ready for the Wimbledon tournament that starts next week.
After Murray’s win, tennis fans went into a Wimbledon ticket frenzy — ticket searches increased by 237 per cent!
