Andy Murray Wins 3rd Title at Queens Club

Queen's Club ATP 250 - Men's Final

1 Andy Murray d 5 Marin Cilic - 57 75 63

Queen's Club becomes the 1st tourney where Andy has collected 3 titles.

He could not have asked for better Wimbledon prep.

Post match: I feel good. I'm a bit tired. Because of the weather it's been

mentally a quite draining week. I'll probably take a day off tomorrow and

start hitting on Tuesday, quite light, and get myself fresh, work on a

couple of things in the build-up to Wimbledon.

Andy donated his prize money to the Royal Marsden Hospital.

Where pal & tennis pro Ross Hutchins recieved treatment for Hodgkin’s.

Well done, Andy.

17 ATP players took part in an exhibition soccer match against the Fort Lauderdale Strikers in an effort to raise money for Red Cross relief aid for Japan. The Strikers took the match 4-2. If I'm not mistaken both ATP gooooooaaaaaaals were netted by Marcos Baghdatis. Well done boys. Some pics:

Only on word describes this event: Lovely.

Roger Federer gets Downright Goofy as Rafael Nadal gets Completely Ducked

Loved the 2 exo's but the wins were obvs pre-determined.

I think they should play a 'for real' 3rd charity match on neutral territory.

Berlin could use some Rafa/Roger love, no?

Just a thought.

High level and no giggles.

Serena is just one of many athletes and celebrities who've joined the Digital Death: Keep a Child Alive campaign honoring World AIDS Day. To donate simply text "SERENA" to 90999.

From the press release above (in case you can't read it): Serena Williams sacrificed her digital life to help save millions of real lives affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India. That means no more Facebook or Twitter updates from her until $1,000,000 is raised to buy her life back.

And it's Andy Murray's turn to go paintballing...

As the 4th player to qualify for the Tour Championships at London's O2 Arena it was Andy Murray's turn to create his charity masterpiece. It will be diplayed along with the ones fashioned by Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and four others who've yet to be determined.

Andy: "I can't say I've ever created a self-portrait quite like this before - it was good fun but I don't think I'll be giving up my day job just quite yet! I'm looking forward to seeing it in the gallery, hopefully it can raise some money for charity!"

More from Andy: "If I play well I've got a chance of beating any of the guys. I'm excited to be playing in front of my home crowd; the atmosphere was great last year. I could be playing against Federer or Nadal in my first match in the Finals so I'm going to have to be on top of my game from the very start."

Oh, and of course - a video:

Rafael Nadal Foundation Opens New School in India

Rafa: "I'm very conscious of the fact that I can use my image to help make a difference in a large scale. "It gives me a great deal of happiness knowing I'm helping them have a better childhood and I really hope they make the best out of this opportunity."

Rafa's mother, Ana Maria Parera: "We don't pretend to make tennis players [at this school]. We just want to trace the mentality and the ideals of Rafa. At the end of the day, they are giving to us a lot more than what we are giving to them."

Bueno Rafa.

And for you Spanish speakers:
