Mardy Fish and Sam Querrey emerged from a strong field as the last two men standing at the AEGON Championships, Queen's Club. The clay season gave us an All American final in Europe and now the grass season repeats the endeavor. Querrey won the match on clay. Can he repeat on the lawns and beat Fish for the first time?

HALLE, GERMANY - JUNE 12:  Lleyton Hewitt of Australia reacts  during his half final match against Benjamin Becker of Germany during  the Gerry Weber Open at the Gerry Weber stadium on June 12, 2010 in  Halle, Germany.

Across the Channel, Roger Federer and Lleyton Hewitt will face off in their first ever grass court final. Federer always plays Halle, Hewitt always played Queen's until this year. What's old is new. Does Hewitt have a chance to win their 25th meeting and end a 15-match losing streak?

BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND - JUNE 11:  Na Li of China plays a backhand in  her match against Kaia Kanepi of Estonia in the Women's Singles during  the AEGON Classic Tennis at the Edgbaston Priory Club on June 11, 2010  in Birmingham, England.

Back in Birmingham, Li Na will face Maria Sharapova to crown the first grass court titlist of the WTA this season. Will Maria exact revenge against the woman who sent her packing in the semis here a year ago?
