Tournament organisers are thrilled with the line-up for this summer's Fever-Tree Championship at The Queen's Club, which features 17 of the world's top 30.

World No 1 Rafael Nadal tops the 23 entries revealed on Tuesday, with the lowest-ranked player so far confirmed being 43rd-ranked Denis Shapovalov.

That means the line-up being the strongest in the tournament's 128-year history, while the cut-off point equals the lowest mark which was set in 2015.

Nadal is one of six top-10 players in the field, joined by Grigor Dimitrov, Marin Cilic, Juan Martin del Potro, Kevin Anderson and David Goffin.

Five-time champion Andy Murray, now ranked 39 after an injury absence, is also in the field along with the man who deposed him as British No 1 earlier this season, world No 22 Kyle Edmund.

Tournament director Stephen Farrow, said: "To see six of the world's top 10 players on our entry list before you even get to the names Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka, Milos Raonic, Feliciano Lopez, Nick Kyrgios and the British No 1 Kyle Edmund really whets the appetite for a fantastic week of tennis in the Fever-Tree Championships at The Queen's Club. We can't wait to get started."
