Inspired by Argentina's ultimate sporting hero Diego Maradona, Francisco Cerundolo has blasted his way to victory in the Queen's Club Championship.
Indeed, to twist a famous line, it could be said Cerundolo's victory at the celebrated 145-year-old tournament came "a little with the forehand of Francisco and a little with the hand of God."
For the late, great Maradona's presence was with the 27-year-old from Buenos Aires as he beat American former champ Tommy Paul 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 6-3 to become the first ever Argentine winner of the biggest grass-court event outside of SW19.
Cerundolo had a Maradona Argentina shirt draped over a chair in his player's box throughout the tournament, revealing: "It wasn't my idea, it was a friend that brought it and they put it there, and because I won my second match, it's sat there until the end of the tournament!
