Sam Querrey defeated fellow American Mardy Fish 7-6 (7-3), 7-5 to win the grass title at Queen’s club, his third tournament of the season - all on different surfaces. He won in Memphis on hardcourt and in Belgrade on clay.

"It's an honour (to win at The Queen's Club)," said Querrey. "All the greatest players in the world are on this trophy. It's nice to be added to that list with them.

"The conditions were pretty tough out there, the windiest day of the week so far. I just tried to stay level headed and keep my composure, and fortunately I got through it."

"I know this is a great tournament and I would have loved to have added my name on there," said Fish. "I felt like I was playing well enough throughout the week that not many of the guys could beat me here. I just didn't do it today."

Querrey named Wimbledon as a target for the future.

"It's one of the four most important tournaments in the world. The Wimbledon trophy has these same names on it, and all the greats have won Wimbledon. It's an honour just to step on the grounds of Wimbledon.

"I'd love to win Wimbledon. I'm kind of going with baby steps here and try and make the third round this year, because the second round is the best I've ever done there. It's possible, but I think I've still got some work to do, and there are still some great competitors out there you have to beat to win a Wimbledon title."

This was 14th ATP World Tour final for Fish. He was trying to win his first title in more than a year since winning in Delray Beach last February.

"I mean, it's inexcusable at that part of the tournament and that part of the match," lamented Fish, reflecting on his missed opportunity to win the second set. "Maybe nerves got to me, or the moment. I mean, I just wanted to play well at this tournament ever since I've been coming here, and if you want something so badly, sometimes it's not a good thing.

"Sam's pretty free flowing out there. Sometimes his attitude of sort of happy go lucky is a great thing. I certainly know the history of this tournament and the names on the trophy, and that definitely caught up to me."
