Andy Murray became a record-equalling four-times winner at Queen’s after outclassing Kevin Anderson in the final of the Aegon Championships.
Murray, who was pulling double duty after seeing off Viktor Troicki in a delayed semi-final earlier in the day, won 6-3, 6-4 in just one hour and four minutes.
Having already triumphed in 2009, 2011 and 2013, the top seed laid down an eloquent marker for Wimbledon as he joined John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Leyton Hewitt and Andy Roddick in having won the title four times.
Murray went on to win Wimbledon after his most recent Queen’s triumph, but only Hewitt (2002) and Rafael Nadal (2008) have also done likewise this century.
