Andy Murray became the first British champion at Queens since 1938 with victory in straight sets over American James Blake today.
Murray felt he produced some of the best tennis of his career to lift the AEGON Championship crown, his first grass court success on home soil.
The Scot triumphed 7-5 6-4 and is now hoping for similar success at Wimbledon.
"I played some of the best tennis Ive ever played in my life," said Murray. I was playing well all week and took my chances when I had them.
"I was quite nervous today because no British player had won here for 70-odd years, so it got the nerves going, especially when I was serving for the match.
"James is a very tough player, we have only met once before so I didn't know what to expect. He had a great week and beat a lot of big servers.
"The only thing left is to try and get a grand slam title in a couple of weeks.
"I've played well this week and now I have to focus on getting ready for Wimbledon.
"I'm a long way from winning Wimbledon but if I play my best, like I have done this week, then I have got a chance.
"But I'm up against two of the greatest players of all time in Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal and it will be tough to get past them."
