Britain's Murray is the reigning champion and record five-time holder of the prestigious grass court title, which is held directly in the run up to Wimbledon.

Rafael Nadal had already previously been confirmed but now reigning US Open champion Wawrinka and in-form Grigor Dimitrov have been added to the mix, taking the tally of Grand Slam titles in the field to 20.

Murray's brother and last year's Australian and US Open champion Jamie Murray has also committed to play in the doubles field.

"By adding the US Open champion Stan Wawrinka to Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal, we now have 20 Grand Slam titles in our Aegon Championships singles field," said tournament director Stephen Farrow.
