Andre Agassi will return from a three-month absence to play at the Stella Artois grasscourt tournament in London next month. The 36-year-old former world number one decided to skip this year's claycourt season to rest a nagging back injury that forced him out of the Nasdaq-100 Open in March.

Agassi's last match was a defeat to German Tommy Haas at Indian Wells in March. The eight-times Grand Slam champion reached the semi-final of the Stella Artois in 2003 and his decision to play is a major boost for the pre-Wimbledon warm-up event that also includes world number two Rafael Nadal of Spain.
