Andy Roddick retained his Stella Artois title with a 7-6, 6-4 victory over Sebastien Grosjean -- a repeat of last year's final.
The top seed's triumph in 83 minutes on Sunday gave him a 14th career title and his second on grass.
"Any time you win a tournament it's an all round good feeling," the 22-year-old smiled. "My big concern had been getting some grasscourt matches under my belt. I couldn't ask for better preparation for Wimbledon."
The grasscourt Grand Slam begins on June 21.
Roddick collects 93,780 euros for his efforts at London's Queen's Club.
The two players were inseparable in the opening set, trading heavy groundstrokes from the baseline.
Grosjean, having served first, kept his nose ahead throughout and held two set points when Roddick fell 15-40 behind while trailing 6-5.
The U.S. Open champion saved the first with an ace and Grosjean missed the second by millimetres when a whipped forehand flew just beyond the baseline.
"He knew what I was going to do on that point and was all over my serve," Roddick said. "But he just missed the bunny a little bit... I was lucky."
Roddick grabbed the first mini-break of the tiebreak to lead 3-2 but by staying at the back of the court after his serve allowed Grosjean to work his way back into it, the Frenchman breaking back for 3-3 with a foray to the net.
THUMPING ACE
The American inched ahead with a wrong-footing backhand behind Grosjean and then broke again for 5-4
This time there was no way back. Roddick smashed an overhead for 6-4 and two set points of his own before thumping his 10th ace to wrap it up 9-7 in 48 minutes.
Suddenly, Roddick chose to serve-and-volley in the next game and the rash tactic played straight into Grosjean's hands.
The Frenchman broke him to love with a forehand pass bent round the American's lunge.
Grosjean handed the break straight back, though, and Roddick took a grip of the match once more.
Keeping Grosjean on the back foot, he earned a first match point when the Frenchman fired a backhand long and closed out the match when he whipped another wide.
"I'm looking forward to resting the next couple of days and then maintaining this form for Wimbledon," Roddick said.
"I'm feeling great right now... I'm not sure I have served this well before.
"I really trust my second serve, I'm not second-guessing it any more. I have a lot of confidence in it right now."
Grosjean recognised Roddick's confidence. "Yeah, he is playing better than last year," the 26-year-old said.
"But I am happy... this has been great preparation for Wimbledon, playing one of the best guys out there."
