Rafael Nadal will look to speed up his preparations for Wimbledon this afternoon as he takes on Felix Auger-Aliasime at the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic at Hurlingham Club.
Nadal returned to the pitch for the first time in three years on Tuesday and looked quick to beat three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka 6-2, 6-3 in a friendly in London.
Nadal was in doubt for Wimbledon after admitting to the extent of leg injuries after winning the French Open earlier this month. The Spaniard is halfway to a Grand Slam on the calendar after winning the Australian Open earlier this year.
But the 37-year-old looked positive after starting his campaign on the grass on Tuesday. “For me, it’s perfect to play a few games here before Wimbledon starts. It helps me feel at least some competition ahead of Wimbledon.”
