Lleyton Hewitt and Tim Henman have been named in a strong field for the Stella Artois Championships in London next month.

World number one Hewitt will attempt to claim the title for the third year in a row after his victory against Henman in the final at Queen's Club last year.

There are three British entrants for the first time since 1995 as Henman, Greg Rusedski and Martin Lee are all ranked high enough in the ATP Entry System to qualify automatically.

And Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic is joined in the draw by Frenchman Sebastien Grosjean, who finished 2001 as world number six, and Australian Open finalist Marat Safin.

Argentina's Guillermo Canas, currently ranked 16th in the entry system, will make his first appearance on the Queen's Club grass.

Former champions Wayne Ferreira, Todd Martin and Mark Philippoussis will also compete in the warm-up event for Wimbledon from 10-16 June, which carries a £58,553 first prize.

Two-time winner Pete Sampras and Spain's Juan Carlos Ferrero have both asked for wild cards.
