Nadal returns to Queen's Club

Rafael Nadal


A resurgent Rafael Nadal will warm up for Wimbledon by returning to The Queen's Club for the Aegon Championships in June.

The 14-time grand slam champion missed the entire grass-court season last year with a wrist injury, but after finishing runner-up to Roger Federer at the Australian Open, he hopes a good run in west London will bode well in his pursuit of a third Wimbledon title.

"I am very happy to be coming back to Queen's.... It is the best way for me to be ready for Wimbledon," the Spanish left-hander said
in a statement.

He lifted the Wimbledon trophy for the first time in 2008, just three weeks after his maiden triumph at Queen's Club.
Nadal's second Wimbledon title in 2010 also followed a good run at Queen's and he reached the Wimbledon final five times between 2006 and 2011, making the quarters or better at the London warm-up event prior to each one.

The Queen's Club tournament will be held from 19-25 June.
