Novak Djokovic will seek to win his first grass-court title at the AEGON Championships at Queen's Club in June.

The world No. 2 confirmed he would compete at the event for the third time as part of his preparation for Wimbledon.

The 2008 Australian Open champion, has 17 titles but is yet to win a tournament on grass. He will hope to emulate the success of Nadal, who beat him in the final at Queens in 2008 before going on to win Wimbledon.

"It would mean a lot to me if I could go one step further than in 2008 and win the AEGON Championships at Queen's, and then to do well at Wimbledon," Djokovic said.

"The grass court season is unique and it is very exciting to play at Queen's because the atmosphere is fantastic and there is so much tradition for tennis in England."
