It was all looking hunky dory for Rafael Nadal after completing the "La Decima" at the French Open, but now doubts over his fitness have been raised again, with the Spaniard announcing his decision to pull out of the Aegon Championships in Queen's, the preparatory tournament for Wimbledon.

Nadal and Wimbledon have not been a match made in heaven in recent years, with the 15-time Grand Slam winner making quite a few early exits.

After winning the French Open title with a straight set win over Stan Wawrinka on Sunday, there were plenty that believed Nadal was primed for another assault at Wimbledon, having last won the title in 2010.

However, Nadal did play down his chances of triumphing at the All England Club by suggesting much would depend on how his knees would respond to playing on grass, with more questions now raised over his fitness for the third Grand Slam of the year by his Queen's pullout.

"I am very sorry to say that I am not going to be able play Queen's next week," Nadal said, announcing his withdrawal from the tournament which starts on Monday. "I was hoping to take some days off and then be ready.

"But, at 31, and after a long clay-court season with all of the emotions of Roland Garros, and after speaking to my team and doctor, I have decided my body needs to rest if I am going to be ready to play Wimbledon.

"I am sad to make this decision because I love Queen's. I won the tournament in 2008 and every time I reached the Wimbledon final it was after playing Queen's."

While Nadal insists he will be ready for Wimbledon, it is natural now to wonder if he indeed will have that body of his, which has gone through multiple injuries, ready to go in the most popular major of the year.

When in form and when fully fit, as he showed at the French Open, Nadal is near impossible to beat. Even at the Australian Open, if not for an inspired Roger Federer, the 31-year-old would be in the hunt for a calendar Grand Slam.

So, everything, as far as Nadal's chances at Wimbledon are concerned, depends on how his body feels.

If it is at a 100 per cent, he will most probably reach the final and even take a third Wimbledon title.

If his body is below 100 per cent, then it could end up being another disappointing time on the grass courts for the legend.
