Andy Murray and his Davis Cup colleagues have got their preferred venue by securing London ’ s Queen ’ s Club as the place where they will take on France in their quarter final . The venerable club in Baron ’ s Court will host Britain ’ s biggest home tie in three decades from July 17-19 , after agreement was reached between its management and the Lawn Tennis Association today . British Captain Leon Smith and his lead player had made it clear that they wanted to take on the strong French team on grass , as it would appear to give them fewer selection options from their rich resources . Andy Murray in action last year at the Queen 's Club , which will host the Davis Cup quarter final against France . Murray celebrates winning at Queen 's in 2013 - one of three triumphs he has had at the tournament . Tickets go on sale on May 27 and the match is sure to sell out quickly with the likely capacity of the one court used being around 7,000 , as it is for the AEGON Championships , which takes place two weeks before Wimbledon . The All England Club ’ s overworked show courts , plus the redevelopment work being done there , meant that SW19 was never an option only five days after the Championships finish . The fixture means a bumper helping of six weeks ’ top level grass court tennis in the UK this summer , a far cry from 20 years ago when some believed the sport ’ s one organic surface might even disappear . This time there will be three weeks between Roland Garros and Wimbledon , so by the time GB take on France for a place in the World Group semi-finals all the players will be perfectly attuned to the grass . The court at Queen ’ s is at least the equal of Wimbledon in terms of quality , and the atmosphere will be very different from the usually staid one that accompanies the principle warm-up event for the big fortnight . Thanks to Murray , GB and France look well-matched and it could well depend on who wins the doubles rubber on the Saturday . France has seven players in the world ’ s singles top 50 , although some have been affected by injuries this season . However , they will be encouraged by the recent comeback of Jo Wilfried Tsonga , who is their best grass court exponent and looking in decent form after overcoming arm problems . He has done well at Queen ’ s before but his record is not as impressive as that of Murray , who has won the pre-Wimbledon title three times . Murray said : 'Queen ’ s will be a perfect venue for our quarter-final match against France . I ’ ve been playing at Queen ’ s for ten years now so I feel very at home there as do the rest of the British team , so it ’ s a great choice . Fingers crossed it ’ s a memorable summer for British tennis . ' Jo Wilfried Tsonga is back to form after overcoming an arm problem and will be a big threat for the French .
