Rafael Nadal will join Andy Murray in the field for the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club this summer.
The 14-time grand slam champion won the title in 2008 and was back in West Kensington in 2015 after a gap of four years.
It was not a happy return, however, with the popular Spaniard losing his opening match to Alexandr Dolgopolov as Murray went on to lift the trophy for a fourth time.
Nadal said: "I love playing at the Queen's Club and I am very happy that I will be back this year. I will never forget winning the title in 2008; it was a special moment, and going on to win my first Wimbledon.
"Holding that trophy again would be amazing, although I am well aware of the difficulties because the tournament always has so many good players."
The Aegon Championships begin on June 13, with Murray looking to become the first player to win a fifth title.
