World number will warm up for Wimbledon defence in London

World number one Rafael Nadal has confirmed he will play in the AEGON Championships at Queen's Club next June. Nadal won the Wimbledon warm-up event in 2008 and has gone on to reach the men's singles final at SW19 after all four previous appearances in West Kensington. And the Spaniard, who recently became the first man to win consecutive French Open, Wimbledon and US Open titles since Rod Laver achieved the feat in 1969, is looking forward to returning. "I love playing at the Queen's Club because it is a traditional club," said Nadal. "Every time I have played there I have felt very welcome because of the British people and their support, and because of the tournament organisers who are so good at their job. "After the French Open, it is very important for me to feel the grass under my feet as soon as possible."
