Tennis: The Artois Championships 2008
Jun 07
The Atrois Championships at the Queen’s Club in London is a much anticipated yearly tournament. It’s the premier warm up event to Wimbledon, and is a last chance hit out on the grass surface. Grass courts are the least common playing surface for top-level events on the ATP Tour and for the clay court specialists’ adjustments to their game are needed. Andy Roddick and Lleyton Hewitt have dominated the tournament since 2000, each winning on four occasions.
British teenager Dan Evans has been given a huge opportunity to test himself against the world’s best players after being awarded the fifth and final wild card into The Artois Championships.
