Nadal to make Wimbledon warm-up a priority

LONDON -- Rafael Nadal is getting serious about trying to
win at Wimbledon.

The French Open champion has signed up to play the next two years at Queen's Club, the traditional London grasscourt warm-up for Wimbledon.

Nadal, has won 10 tournaments this season, but lost in the
second round at Wimbledon.

"His desire to be a winner on every surface makes him one of
the most exciting players," tournament director Ian Wright said.

Two-time French Open champion Jim Courier, who reached the
finals at Wimbledon, thinks the Spaniard has a chance on grass.

"His game may not be obviously adaptable to grass, but his
attitude is," Courier said.
