Rafael Nadal will warm up for the defence of his Wimbledon title at an exhibition grass-court 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, 19 June," said the Spaniard.
"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."
Nadal, the world No1, was forced to pull out of last week's grass-court event at Queen's and said he would need intensive treatment on both his knees to be able to play at Wimbledon.
If he plays at Hurlingham, Nadal will face the Olympic doubles champion and world No19, Stanislas Wawrinka from Switzerland.
