Andy Murray has been handed a tough draw ahead of the defence of his AEGON Championships title at Queen's.

After becoming the first British man since Bunny Austin in 1938 to win the title last year, Murray could make history once more as he vies to become the first Brit since F.G Lowe in 1914 to successfully defend the crown.

Murray will meet either Daniel Koellerer or Ivan Navarro in the second round after being handed a bye in the first round. Next up could be Mardy Fish, who beat him at the Miami Masters. The third seed could then meet world No. 12 Marin Cilic in the quarter-finals.

Should he make it to the semi-finals, he could face 2008 champion Rafael Nadal, who will meet either Brazilian Marcos Daniel or Slovenia's Blaz Kavcic in round two.

British wild cards Jamie Baker and James Ward meet Dennis Istomin and Robby Ginepri respectively.
