Empowered by his run to the Acapulco title, Nick Kyrgios is aiming to kick grass in London.
Kyrgios, who knocked off three Top 10 players—Rafael Nadal, John Isner and Alexander Zverev as well as three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka—to capture Acapulco, has entered Queen's Club, set for June 17th-23rd.
Judy Murray: Nobody Knows How Andy Murray Will Recover
The explosive Aussie believes his game plays best on grass.
"I know what I can do if I’m feeling good, and I want to show that on the grass at Queen’s and Wimbledon this year,” said Kyrgios. “The Fever-Tree Championships is a great event, one of my good mates Andy Murray won the title five times there, so that shows how important it is.
"The courts are perfect, they suit my game and if I go well there it will set me up perfectly for Wimbledon."
Kyrgios joins Murray, British No.1 Kyle Edmund, defending champion Marin Cilic and new World No.10 Stefanos Tsitsipas in signing up to play at The Queen’s Club.
A year ago, Kyrgios beat Edmund and Andy Murray en route to the semifinals.
Tournament organizers say "Murray will advise on his fitness status nearer the time of the event."
