Andy Murray has passed a late fitness test and will lead the field at the pre-Wimbledon Queen's club grass event starting on Monday. The world number four, who owns two titles from the last three edition at the classy west London venue, had been declared doubtful after carrying a back injury through the French Open where he lost in the quarter-finals to David Ferrer.
But Murray on Saturday confirmed that he will start his only official warm-up for Wimbledon, which begins June 25.
"It's great to be back on the grass at The Queen's Club today and I'm looking forward to the event," said the Scot. "It's meant a lot to win the title two out of the last three years and to do well here is always the best possible preparation for me in the lead up to Wimbledon."
The field was thinned by an injury pullout from Argentine Juan Martin del Potro, suffering with a knee injury which bothered him at Roland Garros. Also missing will be American Mardy Fish, who had a heart scare recently and has not returned to the game.
