David Nalbandian will bolster a powerful line-up at the AEGON Championships after he was granted a wildcard for the grass-court event.

As one of the pre-cursors to Wimbledon, the AEGON Championships will boast the likes of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick, Juan Martin Del Potro and Andy Murray at Queen's Club.

Now 2002 Wimbledon finalist Nalbandian can be added to the list, after he confirmed he expects to recover from injury in order to accept his wildcard.

"I am looking forward to starting my comeback from injury on grass at the AEGON Championships at Queen's Club," said Nalbandian.

"It has been a frustrating time, but my recovery is going well and I expect to be in good shape for the tournament. I enjoy playing on grass, and reaching the Wimbledon final in 2002 was a special moment in my career. I hope to have a successful grass court season this year."

The AEGON Championships commence on June 6, and there are still four more wildcards to be awarded prior to the opening match.
