After this year's Queen's Club cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, we look at Andy Murray's unbelievable record at the tournament.

The Scot's record haul of five titles between 2009 and 2016 remains an impressive feat and there is little doubt he has been the King of Queen's over the years.

In 2019 he returned from hip surgery to win the doubles event alongside Feliciano Lopez.

Here, we take a look back at how Murray has been the dominant force at Queen's Club over the years...

First triumph

Murray became the first British champion at Queen's Club since Bunny Austin in 1938 as he claimed a historic first grass-court tournament after beating James Blake 7-5 6-4 in the 2009 final.

The 22-year-old world No 3 dropped serve only twice all week, and did not lose a set on his way to lifting the title.

Second victory

He followed up his success in 2009 by completing the perfect Wimbledon preparation by fighting back to defeat hard-hitting Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 3-6 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 in the 2011 final, which was only the third Monday final in the tournament's history.

Historic fifth

Murray became the most successful player at the tournament after beating Milos Raonic to claim a historic fifth title.

The British No 1 ran out 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 6-3 in a high-quality final to successfully defend last year's title and earn a record haul.

A few weeks later he became a two-time Wimbledon champion when he beat the same opponent in the final.

The Scot won the doubles title in first tournament since career-saving hip surgery alongside Spanish veteran Feliciano Lopez.

The pair defeated Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury 7-6 (8-6) 5-7 10-5 in a thrilling final.

Murray said: "My hip has felt great, pain-free. I'll try to keep progressing, but am just happy to be back on the court."
