Tuesday’s line-up at the AEGON Championships is led by No. 3 seed and defending champion Andy Murray along with four-time winner Andy Roddick. In addition, World No. 1 and five-time Roland Garros champion Rafael Nadal returns to the Queen’s Club for the first time in two years as he teams with countryman Marc Lopez in a doubles match.

There were three singles matches suspended by rain on Monday, including British qualifier Alex Bogdanovic, who led Bulgarian wild card Grigor Dimitrov 4-6, 6-3, 2-1. That will be the first match on Centre Court Tuesday followed by No. 6 seed Gael Monfils against Rainer Schuettler in a first-time meeting.

In the third match, Murray looks for his second win in as many meetings against Spaniard Ivan Navarro. Murray is coming off a fourth round showing at Roland Garros (l. to Berdych) and he enters with a   16-8 match record on the season. One year ago he came into the Queen’s Club with a 35-6 mark with three ATP World Tour titles.

In the final singles match, Roddick takes on Russian Igor Kunitsyn for the second time. Last year in the second round at Wimbledon, the American won in four sets en route to the final where he lost to Roger Federer 16-14 in the fifth set. Roddick owns a 28-4 career mark at the Queen’s Club, capturing titles in 2003-05, ’07. He also reached the semi-finals in 2006 and ’08-09.
