Queen’s Club is set to host the strongest line-up in the tournament’s 128-year history after 17 of the top 30 entered the Fever-Tree Championships - and that does not even include Andy Murray, now world number 39.

Spain's Rafael Nadal (L) shakes hands with Britain's Andy Murray after a men's singles group stage match on day four of the ATP World Tour Finals tennis tournament in London on November 18, 2015. Nadal won 6-4, 6-1.

World number one Rafael Nadal is one of six top-10 players to have signed up for the grass-court event, while number 43 Denis Shapovalov is the lowest-ranked player to have made the cut.

Tournament director Stephen Farrow said: “To see six of the world’s top 10 players on our entry list before you even get to the names Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka, Milos Raonic, Feliciano Lopez, Nick Kyrgios and the British number one Kyle Edmund, really whets the appetite for a fantastic week of tennis. We can’t wait to get started.”
