Sam Querrey grabbed his third title of the season, beating close friend Mardy Fish to win the AEGON Championship at Queen's Club.

The American beat his training partner 7-6(3) 7-5 to win his first grass-court title of the season; only world No. 1 Rafael Nadal has won more titles.

After a shaky start from Querrey, who was forced to save three break points on his opening service game, the match went with serve, and with neither player able to carve an opportunity, the opening set went to a tie-breaker, with Querrey taking first blood.

Fish was left stunned as his 22-year-old opponent opened the second set with an astonishing game consisting of four aces, but Fish responded impressively, grabbing the first break of serve early in the second set.

The match looked to be on course for a decider as Fish served for the set at 5-4, but Querrey dug deep to break back, winning four games on the bounce to claim a hard-earned victory.

"It is always tough playing against your buddy because you want him to do well," Querrey told the crowd at Queen's Club.

"To be honest I am not really sure what just happened," said Fish. "I felt like I was taking care of my service games pretty well, but here we are."
