Rafael Nadal will warm up for the defence of his Wimbledon title at an exhibition tournament at the Hurlingham Club in London later this week - provided his recovery from a knee injury is going well enough. "I have kindly been invited to play the traditional exhibition at the Hurlingham Club on Friday, June 19," the Spaniard said on his website (www.rafaelnadal.com) on Monday.
"It would be a good test for me to play there to see how the knee is doing, and it would provide the perfect setting to get some practice before Wimbledon. "If I feel the recuperation is going well I will be more than happy to be there again. I hope that's the case."
