London, Apr. 10 : Spaniard Rafael Nadal has declared that he will defend the Aegon title at London's Queen's Club and head for a rankings war with Andy Murray.

Murray has also entered the tournament from June 8-14, to set up what could be one of the summer's most thrilling tennis rivalries, reports The Sun.

Last year Nadal, the world No1, used Queen's to prepare for his Wimbledon win.

He said: "Queen's is a special place for me. You feel you are in a proper club, staying in London is a great help and the courts are always perfect, just like Wimbledon. What helps, too, is that the crowd are nice to me." (ANI)
