Rafael Nadal was scheduled to play two exhibitions prior to Wimbledon to test his knees. On Thursday, he was scheduled to play Lleyton Hewitt. On Friday, he is scheduled to play Stanislas Wawrinka.
Nadal suffered a loss against Lleyton Hewitt, 6-4, 6-3. His coach and uncle said it’s difficult for Nadal to play. Reports say Nadal looked uncomfortable and a step slow, making uncharacterisitc errors against the former world number 1. Nadal said if it were up to him, he’d be flying to Mallorca.
However, he will play against Stanislas Wawrinka tomorrow before making any final decisions.
On a side note, the British press have been praising Andy Murray. Murray recently won the Queen’s Club, the first time a British player has won this since 1938. He is wearing a new line of Fred Perry clothing inspired by clothing Perry wore. Perry is the last British male to have won Wimbledon.
