Who's Hot

  • Andy Murray (3)

    Murray's success at Queen's secured his first title on grass and also ensured the famous event had its first home winner for 71 years. The perfect build-up for Wimbledon.

  • Colin Fleming and Ken Skupski (doubles rank 150 and 138)

    The doubles pair caused a massive upset at Queen's as they beat the American Bryan brothers in the second round before losing in the quarter-finals. The duo have also been handed a wildcard into Wimbledon.

  • Laura Robson (484)

    Junior Wimbledon champion Laura Robson will be the youngest player to appear in the senior event since Martina Hingis in 1995 after being handed a wildcard.

  • Naomi Cavaday (286)

    Cavaday was the best of the Brits at Edgbaston as she made it to the third round. Her second round win over last year's Wimbledon quarter-finalist Tamarine Tanasugarn was particularly impressive.

  • James Blake (17)

    James Blake? In Britwatch? Well the likeable American was keen to remind the Queen's fans that he has a British mother before his final against Andy Murray. "I'm half English too. Hopefully, I'll have a few supporters," he joked.

Who's Not

  • James Ward (224)

    Ward was handed a wildcard into the main draw at Queen's but failed to impress as he was beaten easily by Marcos Baghdatis 6-2 6-3 in the first round.

  • Josh Goodall (210)

    Goodall was also given a Queen's wildcard but failed to convert on four set points in the second set of his first round match with Gilles Muller before finally losing 6-3 7-6(7).

  • Jamie Murray (doubles rank 65)

    It was no more than another cameo performance from Murray at a doubles event as he and partner Jonathan Erlich were eliminated in the second round at Queen's.

  • Anne Keothavong (49)

    There were high hopes for Keothavong at Edgbaston but the 11th seed was beaten in the second round by India's Sania Mirza.

  • Traditionalists

    Blue signage and seats at Queen's? Men at Eastbourne? A roof over Wimbledon's centre court? It has been all change this grass court season in Britain!
