Andy Murray hopes to be fit to play at Queen's Club this summer, with the former world No.1 on the entry list for the Cinch Championships along with fellow British players Jack Draper, Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans.

Murray - who has won the singles title five times at the tournament - ruptured ankle ligaments at last month's Miami Open.

The action at Queen’s takes place from 15-23 June.
