"It will be an honour to play Stefan. Having won the tournament four times, the Queen's Club holds many special memories for me," said Becker.

"My career really took off when I won the Stella Artois title in 1985 and then Wimbledon three weeks later as a 17-year-old," he added.

"Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg have been great ambassadors for tennis, for sport and for the Stella Artois," tournament director Ian Wight said.

"We were absolutely delighted when they both jumped at the chance for one more go at each other' to mark our 25th anniversary."

Two greats

Becker entranced tennis fans when in 1985, aged just 17, he became the youngest player to win at the All England Club.

The German became a tennis legend, taking the Wimbledon title twice more. His career haul of 49 titles included two Australian Open crowns and one US Open success.

Swede Edberg won Wimbledon in 1988 and 1990 and triumphed at both the Australian and US Opens.
