Andy Murray has announced he will play in the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club every year for the rest of his career.
The 29-year-old, who will shortly begin his bid for a first Australian Open title, has won the title at Queen's a record five times.
The world No 1 says he is pleased to have committed himself to the pre-Wimbledon warm-up event for the rest of his time in the sport.
"I've always loved playing the event and I'm really happy to know that I will play at Queen's for as long as my career lasts," he said.
"My first ATP World Tour match win came at Queen's in 2005, so for it to become by far the most successful tournament of my career is a great feeling.
"Looking at the names that have won the tournament four times - some of the best players ever - winning it five times means a lot to me."
Murray won at Queen's last year when he defeated Milos Raonic in the final before going on to beat the same player in the title decider at Wimbledon a few weeks later.
Queen's Club has responded to the popularity of the tournament by increasing the capacity of its centre court to more than 9,000 for this year's event, which runs from June 19-25.
