Andy Murray has won the Queen's Club tennis Championships for a record fifth time.

He came from a set down to beat Canada's Milos Raonic 6-7 6-4 6-3 to win the grass-court tournament that traditionally precedes Wimbledon.

Murray, who has begun working with his former coach and eight-time Grand Slam winner Ivan Lendl again, will be aiming to make up for the pain of losing to long-time rival Novak Djokovic at the French Open final earlier this month at this year's Wimbledon, which begins on June 27th.

Lendl was in his corner when he won tennis' most prestigious tournament in 2013 as well as the 2012 US Open - the only Grand Slam triumphs of his otherwise successful career.

Murray, who has reached the finals of both of this year's Grand Slam events in Australia and France, was knocked out in the semi-finals by Roger Federer at last year's Wimbledon.
