Andy Murray to headline Queens

By: Marwan Hashim

The AEGON Championships at Queen's Club next month will feature six of the top 12 players in the world rankings, led by number four Andy Murray.

Murray, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Juan Martin Del Potro had already confirmed their places at the Wimbledon warm-up tournament, which begins on June 17, and the entry list revealed they will be joined by Janko Tipsarevic, Mardy Fish and Gilles Simon.
Serbian Tipsarevic is at a career-high ranking of eighth, one ahead of Fish, who will be hoping to at least match his performance from his last appearance in 2010, when he reached the final before losing to fellow American Sam Querrey.
World number 11 Simon will hope to take his clay form onto the grass having never made it past the last 16 at Queen's, while other notable names include Richard Gasquet, Marcos Baghdatis, David Nalbandian and four-time winner Andy Roddick.
Tournament director Chris Kermode said: "We are delighted that so many of world's leading players have chosen to compete at the AEGON Championships. We are looking forward to a fantastic week of tennis."
