Andy Murray & Aljaz Bedene set for all-British tie at Queen's

Andy Murray will face a British opponent for the first time in 10 years when he takes on Aljaz Bedene at Queen's Club on Thursday.

The pair will meet in the second round of the Aegon Championships at about 14:00 BST.

Slovenia-born Bedene gained UK citizenship last year and, at 58th in the world, is the British number two.

British number three Kyle Edmund opens plays at 12:30 against France's Paul-Henri Mathieu.

Top seed Murray last faced a fellow Briton in 2006, when he lost to Tim Henman in Bangkok.

"It's amazing really," said Murray, who is trying to win a record fifth title at Queen's Club.
