Tennis: Nalbandian disqualified as Cilic wins

LONDON: Croatia’s Maric Cilic took the Queen's Club title in controversial fashion as Argentina’s David Nalbandian was disqualified in the second set of the final for kicking an advertising board into a line judge. Nalbandian, who won the first set 7-6 (7/3), had lost his serve to fall 4-3 down when he reacted with a frustrated kick at the board, which was just in front of line judge Andrew McDougall.
