Andy Murray's Wimbledon preparations for the next five years will be sharpened at Queen's as he has committed to the AEGON Championships until 2016.

The AEGON Championships is the LTA's flagship warm-up event for Wimbledon and it is a huge boost that Britain's No. 1 has committed himself to the event.

"Ever since I got my first ATP World Tour match-win at the tournament seven years ago, I have always loved playing at The Queen's Club," Murray, a winner of the event in 2009 and 2011, said. "I've won the tournament twice, and I'm looking forward to trying to win it many more times in the years to come."

Chris Kermode, tournament director of the AEGON Championships, said: "For Andy to commit to the AEGON Championships for the next five years on the same day as we announce the extension of our host broadcaster agreement with the BBC for the same duration, is fantastic news for the tournament.

"Andy is hugely popular with our spectators and I know they will be as delighted as we are to welcome him back to The Queen's Club until at least 2016."

The event has also been boosted by the news it will be televised on the BBC for the next five years.
