Edmund will go to Queen’s ranked higher than Murray

British No 1 Kyle Edmund will make his home debut as the country’s leading player at the Fever-tree Championships at Queen’s Club in June.

He joins Andy Murray and three of the world’s top four in Rafael Nadal, Marin Cilic and Grigor Dimitrov in committing to the tournament, while defending champion Feliciano Lopez will also return.

Edmund overtook Murray earlier this month and, with the former world No 1 likely to make his return from hip surgery in late May or early June, the 23-year-old Englishman is guaranteed to hang on to the position heading into the summer.

Edmund is currently ranked three places above Murray at 26 in the world standings.

Grass has so far been Edmund’s least successful surface, with only four wins from 17 tour-level matches.

He did reach the quarter-finals at Queen’s in 2016 before losing to Murray.
