Rafael Nadal intends to play Wimbledon after having treatment on foot problem

Rafael Nadal says he intends to play Wimbledon after having treatment for his chronic foot problem.

However, the Spaniard had treatment last week to reduce nerve pain and is planning to play Wimbledon, which begins on 27 June.

"The last week of training tells me there is a chance," Nadal, 36, said.

"My intention is to play at Wimbledon."

He said he would travel to London on Monday and play in the exhibition event at Hurlingham, which begins on Tuesday.

The two-time Wimbledon champion has been practising on the grass courts in Mallorca to test his fitness for Wimbledon.
