Andy Murray faces a tough task for the defence of his AEGON Championships title after organisers confirmed the line-up for next month's ATP 250 tournament.

Murray, who recently committed to the event until 2016, is bidding to win a hat-trick of titles at The Queen's Club as he steps up his Wimbledon preparations.

Four-time champion Andy Roddick has already confirmed his participation, alongside last year's finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Juan Martin Del Potro, but the official entry list also includes Janko Tipsarevic and Mardy Fish, ranked No. 8 and 9 in the world respectively.

French pair Gilles Simon and Richard Gasquet have both signed up, while David Nalbandian and Marcos Baghdatis are also in the draw, as are talented youngsters Ryan Harrison and Grigor Dimitrov.

"We are delighted that so many of world's leading players have chosen to compete at the AEGON Championships," tournament director, Chris Kermode said.

"Six of the world's top 12 players will be playing, in addition to four-time champion Andy Roddick. We are looking forward to a fantastic week of tennis."
