The world number two will play Marat Safin in an exhibition match at the Fortis Tennis Classic on Friday at the Hurlingham Club in south west London. Nadal took the Artois title with a 7-6 (8-6) 7-5 win over Novak Djokovic seven days after winning the French Open. "I'm a little bit tired but I think with a few days' rest I'm going to be ready for Wimbledon," said Nadal. "And if not, it does not matter, because Wimbledon is very important and the motivation is 100%." The 22-year-old Spaniard is aiming to become the first man to win Roland Garros and Wimbledon in the same year since Sweden's Bjorn Borg managed the feat in 1980. "I've made it to two Wimbledon finals so sure, I can win, but it's a lot of work," said Nadal. The other leading names at Hurlingham will be Tomas Berdych, Tommy Haas and James Blake. http://www.inthenews.co.uk/sports/sport/tennis/nadal-complete-grass-court-pre paration-in-london-$1227568.htm Nadal to complete grass-court preparation in London Monday, 16 Jun 2008 17:28 Rafael Nadal has confirmed he will play one final grass-court match as part of his preparation for Wimbledon at the Fortis Tennis Classic on Friday. The Spaniard, who is coming off his first-ever tournament victory at the Artois Championships at Queen's Club last week, is set to face Marat Safin in an exhibition match. Safin is a former world number one and should provide a decent test for Nadal, as he looks to overhaul current top-ranked player Roger Federer. Federer has won Wimbledon for the last five years in succession, although in 2007 he faced arguably his biggest test on Centre Court to date as he was taken to five sets by Nadal before eventually coming through to win. Nadal has described his preparation for the All England Club this year as "amazing". And he said after beating Novak Djokovic in the Queen's Club final that he would be raring to go again after returning to his Mallorcan home for a few days rest this week. Some other star names set to play at the Fortis Tennis Classic at the Hurlington Club this week include Tommy Haas, Thomas Berdych and James Blake. --
