Rafael Nadal will travel to London next Tuesday in hopes of defending his Wimbledon title despite having played with pain in his knees for months.
The top-ranked Spaniard says on his Web site that he underwent two days of medical tests in Barcelona and will undergo two weeks of physical therapy in a bid to be fit for the tournament, which starts June 22.
Nadal withdrew from a grass-court warmup event at Queen\'s Club this week.
His 31-match winning streak at the French Open ended with a fourth-round loss to eventual finalist Robin Soderling.
Spanish Tennis Federation physician Dr. Angel Ruiz-Cotorro says Nadal has tendinitis in both knees.
