Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to join Andy Murray at Queen's Club in June


France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will return to Queen's Club in June to try and go one step further than last year's run to the Aegon Championships final.
The world number five lost to Andy Murray in last year's final.
Tsonga went on to beat Roger Federer on his way to the Wimbledon semis, and hopes for similar success in 2012.

"I know that I can beat everybody on grass, so why not?" he said. "I know on grass that I am a good player. I go to the net and I serve well."

Murray is likely to be the top seed when the tournament begins on 11 June, with Tsonga currently in line to be the highest-ranked player in the opposite half of the draw.

"I had an incredible year in 2011, and it all started there," said Tsonga, who went on to reach the final of the ATP World Tour Finals at the end of the year.

Former champion Rafael Nadal has already said he will prepare for Wimbledon at the grass-court event in Halle, Germany, along with Roger Federer.
