The Olympic Gold Medalist was excited to return and stated, “It’s been such a difficult time for everyone and it will be great to play in front of home fans in Britain again. The tournament at Queen’s has always meant a lot to me – it’s where I won my first ATP match, I’ve won the singles at Queen’s more than any other in my career, and I’ll never forget our doubles title in 2019. I can’t wait to get back out there.”
