Hurlingham is a traditional little event that some players use as a bit of a warm up before Wimbledon. Rafa has played there in 2006 and 2007, but withdrew last year to enjoy a few more precious days at home after his successful clay court season and unexpected victory at Queens.
However, Rafa has announced via his website of an invitation to play there - against Stanislav Wawrinka.
"I have kindly been invited to play the traditional exhibition at the Hurlingham Club on Friday, June 19. I have played at that Club for several years now. It would be a good test for me to play there on Friday 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." said Rafa.
Let's see if he makes it ...
