Dimitrov joins the likes of World No. 1 Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka and 14-time grand slam winner Rafael Nadal in a star-studded line up for the tournament.


The 25-year-old, who won at Queen`s in 2014, sees himself as a better player now than he was three years ago.


"I feel like I`m a better player, a better person, better everything," Dimitrov was quoted as saying by Sport24.


"The grass court season is going to be a big thing for me with Queen`s and then Wimbledon around the corner."


"I`ve seen the field, it`s going to be very strong again, but I`m excited to see what my form is going to be like. I won the tournament a few years ago and I love it. It`s the best way to prepare for Wimbledon," he added.


Dimitrov reached the semi-final at the Australian Open in Melbourne earlier this year and picked up titles in Brisbane and Sofia.


He will, however, face a tough task to claim victory at Queen`s.
