Multiple Grand Slam champion Rafa Nadal has confirmed that he will play at this year’s Aegon Championships, after missing the chance to defend his 2008 title through injury. The Spanish tennis ace will use the grass court event at London’s Queen’s Club to help him prepare for Wimbledon, which is the climax of the grass season. He will hope that this season follows a similar trajectory to 2008, when his fine form at Queen’s continued throughout Wimbledon fortnight and he emerged as champion – a stunning feat for someone many thought would never enjoy success on grass.

Last year, Andy Murray won the title and became the first Briton to win the title since 1938, and looks set to compete again this year. The star-studded field also should include Queen’s regulars Andy Roddick and Lleyton Hewitt.
