Andy Murray will return to competitive tennis after almost a year out at the Queen's Club next week.

The three-time major winner has not played since last year's Wimbledon due to a hip injury and subsequent surgery.

He practised at Queen's on Friday ahead of next week's Fever-Tree Championships, delayed a decision until Saturday and then told tournament officials he would be there.

"Andy Murray has confirmed that he will play in the Fever-Tree Championships," the tournament said on its official Twitter account.

If Murray was hoping for a gentle return, he soon had that thought ended.

The draw paired him with Nick Kyrgios, the supremely gifted - if occasionally volatile - Australian, ranked 24 in the world
