World number three Rafael Nadal will attempt this year to regain the Queen’s Club title he won in 2008. He was unable to defend this grasscourt tourney last year due to knee injury.
Nadal made history in 2008 when he won the French Open, Queen’s Club tournament and Wimbledon on the same year. However, he was unable to defend both the grasscourt tournaments last year and he lost in the fourth round of the French Open as well.
“I always look forward to coming to England to play at The Queen’s Club and Wimbledon but this year there is even more motivation because I could not defend my titles last year,” Nadal was quoted as saying.
The Spaniard said that not defending these tournaments was one of the most difficult career decisions he had to make. However, he said that what’s important now is that he’s capable of playing this year and regain the titles once more.
The Queen’s Club tournament takes place from June 7 to 13, 2010.
