The Aegon Championships singles final at The Queen’s Club has been moved forward by two hours to a new start-time of 12 noon (BST) on Sunday after weather forecasts predicted that rain would arrive mid-afternoon.

The singles final had originally been scheduled for 2pm (BST) with the doubles final beforehand and the Rally Against Cancer charity match afterwards, but both singles and doubles finals have now been scheduled for 12 noon, with the doubles final on Court One (with tickets for the doubles final available separately on the gate for £10).

The Rally Against Cancer match (Andy Murray/Tim Henman vs. Tomas Berdych/Ivan Lendl followed by celebrity doubles) will follow the singles final on Centre Court.

Gates will open at 10.30am (BST) as previously advertised.

Chris Kermode, Aegon Championships Tournament Director, said: "All the indications are that rain will arrive mid-to-late Sunday afternoon, so we have made this decision to give ourselves the biggest possible window to play the finals and the Rally Against Cancer matches.

"We have also made the decision as early as we can to give our ticket-holders, players, guests and broadcast partners as much time as possible to plan accordingly."

The singles final and the Rally Against Cancer matches will continue to be screened, live, on BBC 1.
