Britain's Emma Raducanu and the great Serena Williams are the star names at the HSBC Championships at Queen's Club as the grass-court season begins - and you can follow across the BBC.

Raducanu, a quarter-finalist at the WTA 500 event last year, contests a women's singles draw headed by world number two and Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina from 8-14 June.

American Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, is making her return to competitive action after an absence of almost four years in the women's doubles.

The men's tournament, held from 15-21 June, features Britain's Cameron Norrie but not Jack Draper, who has delayed his return from injury for another week.

Australian world number nine Alex de Minaur is the current highest-ranked player confirmed.

Live coverage is available on BBC One, BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, while BBC Radio 5 Live will have updates all week.

The BBC Sport website and app will provide live updates, reports, analysis and features.

Who is competing at Queen's?

Former Wimbledon champion Rybakina is joined by fellow top-10 players Amanda Anisimova and Victoria Mboko in the women's singles.

Raducanu, the only Briton to gain direct entry into the draw, Katie Boulter and Harriet all won their opening matches but Francesca Jones and teenager Mika Stojsavljevic both lost.

Williams, who has been granted a wildcard for the tournament, is playing alongside Canadian teenager Mboko in the women's doubles.

The 44-year-old said she would be "evolving away" from tennis in 2022 but has decided to return, saying Queen's Club "feels like the perfect place to begin this next chapter".

Wimbledon, where Williams has won seven singles and seven doubles titles, begins three weeks after Queen's.

Lorenzo Musetti, Jiri Lehecka, Luciano Darderi and Valentin Vacherot are the other top 20-ranked players in the men's singles draw alongside De Minaur.

Rising stars Jakub Mensik and Rafael Jodar are also in action.
