Since the 1880s, London has hosted a grass court tournament on the eve of Wimbledon, with many of the globe's greatest racquet handlers making tracks for the capital to test themselves.
Though lacking much of Wimbledon's lustre, and a sizable portion of the purse, to work one's way through the bracket to become the king of the Queen's court is no mean feat.
But how many of the tennis world's brightest stars have shone just outside of the square mile?
From an array of British pioneers to an inaugural win from one of the tennis world's brightest young stars, here is the full list of men's tennis players to have won a Queen's Club Championship.
