The Stella Artois Championships from the Queen's Club, London
Nearly £19,000 goes to the winner of this afternoon's final but that will be the last thing the two players will be considering.
For the last two years the winner of this title has gone on to be Wimbledon Champion, so victory today may create a real psychological advantage in three weeks' time. It certainly was last summer for JIMMY CONNORS , but this year he has both JOHN MCENROE and IVAN LENDL to contend with. 2.40*
