Rafa has confirmed that he will play an exhibition today at 2:15pm (if there are no last minute changes) at the Hurlingham Club with Lleyton Hewitt, - who also accepted the invitation from the organisers of the event – as his opponent. 

“It will be good to play tomorrow to get a better idea of how I feel on court, playing at a higher level than I would normally play during training,” said Rafa yesterday.

On Wednesday, Rafa also had his second 3-hour training session at the Wimbledon Aorangi Park Club, but never really reached the intense rhythm you normally would for a session as long as that: “It was 3 hours, but I took it easy, I didn’t put any pressure.”
