Djokovic to make Queens return

Tuesday, 12 June 2018 16:00

Novak Djokovic is to end an eight-year hiatus when he returns to The Queen’s Club next week.

The former world number one will compete in the Fever-Tree Championships, despite claiming he may miss the grass season after losing in the quarter-final stage of the French Open against Marco Cecchinato.

Djokovic, 31, has now accepted a late wildcard for Queen's, which means 17 of the world's top 30 players will be in the draw.

The 12-time Grand Slam champion said: "The atmosphere is always great and I am looking forward to playing in front of the British crowd again.

"Grass is very special. It is the rarest of surfaces so I'm happy I'll have the opportunity to compete at this strong tournament, which will also be a great preparation for Wimbledon."
