Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro will join Andy Murray and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at Queen's Club in June.
The world number 11, who won the US Open in 2009, will return to the Wimbledon warm-up for the third time.
"I like the surface," said Del Potro, who missed most of 2010 with a serious wrist injury. "I'm not a grass-court specialist, but I'm improving.
"I think if I play my best tennis I have a chance to win a Grand Slam on grass but it will be very difficult."
France's Tsonga has already confirmed he will try to go one step further than last year's run to the Aegon Championships final, where he lost to Murray.
"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.
