AEGON Championships The Queen's Club, London: 11th - 17th June 2012
Plus EUROSPORT
Big news
British players Jamie Baker, Oliver Golding and Liam Broady have been awarded the three remaining main draw wild cards into the AEGON Championships, which begins at The Queen’s Club on Monday.
Major stepping stone for all three, especially Broady.
It's enhanced secondary rights, so not much in the scheme of things. Main rights holder is Eurosport. BBC rights cover Singles only, with limited network coverage and only on Centre court, without renegotiation on a match by match basis.
In addition the equipment requirements are minimal as the court coverage will be coming from the Eurosport cameras.
One issue though is the player list, because of the complications with the Olympic Tournament, some players have chosen to drop ATP250 events this year, Queens is one of these, therefore the entry is weaker than normal. If this continues next year there's a reasonable argument for reconsideration, although I feel that we'll be back to 'normal' entry next year.

Dimitrov on court now vs Nalbandian, to find out who'll play Cilic in tomorrow's final. First Set one game all, in terribly gusty conditions, both serves broken in the first two games.
A couple of points about this . Firstly what's the point of those "boards " round the linesmans chair ..secondly Rules Are Rules so I guess that DQ was inevitable ....thirdly is about that Andrew Castle .. ..OK the linesman got a nasty cut on his leg which I am sure hurt like buggery for a wee while but he walked off albeit with a limp but Castle made it like the guy had broken his leg or worse .You should have heard the guy ..talk about Pomposity but then that's tennis all over isn't it . It's not as if Nalbandiam meant to hurt the guy..he was taking it out on the boards and probably expected them to be a bit more resilient than they were and then when Nalbandian spoke and complained about the ATP that was another excuse for them to go off on one ..Castle and Barker and Lloyd ...and Barker telling the crowd to Shooooosh when speaking to DN ..lol
