Rafael Nadal to play in 2011 Aegon Championships


Tennis fans with Aegon tickets will get the opportunity to see world number one Rafael Nadal in action.

The Spanish star, who won the US Open last week after overcoming Novak Djokovic 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 in the final, has announced he will take part in the 2011 Aegon Championships, which run from June 6th to 12th.

Playing in front of fans with Aegon tickets has proved to be something of a good luck charm for Nadal in the past, with the 24-year-old reaching the Wimbledon final shortly after each of his four previous appearances at The Queen's Club.

Commenting on the news, Nadal revealed he loves taking part in the tournament because of its traditional setting and his relationship with the local fans.

"Every time I have played there I have felt very welcome because of the British people and their support," he explained.

He added that playing in the 2010 championships had "definitely" helped him prepare for his victory at Wimbledon.
