The World No.24 Alexandr Dolgopolov and British No.2 James Ward have both been awarded wild cards into the main draw of the Aegon Championships, which takes place June 10-16 at The Queen’s Club in London.

Dolgopolov and Ward will join Andy Murray, Jo Wilfried Tsonga, Tomas Berdych and Juan Martin del Potro in a line-up that also features Lleyton Hewitt, Grigor Dimitrov and the defending champion, Marin Cilic.

The Aegon Championships will award three more wild cards before the event begins.

Murray and Berdych are already scheduled to be in action on finals day. Murray will team up with Tim Henman against Berdych and Ivan Lendl in Rally Against Cancer – an all-star doubles exhibition to raise money for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. The charity supports The Royal Marsden, the world-leading cancer centre treating British tennis player Ross Hutchins.
