Live action from the opening day of the prestigious Stella Artois men's championship at Queen's Club, London, a tournament that provides a stern test on grass for many of the world's top players as they prepare for Wimbledon, which begins in two weeks. The first-class field is expected to include defending champion Pete Sampras, who is returning to his favourite surface after a first-round exit at the French Open. Australia's big-hitting former Queen's champion Mark Philippoussis, who accounted for Sampras in Paris, and British duo Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski will also be hoping to mount strong challenges.
Introduced by Sue Barker.
