The world No. 2 is scheduled to play on Wednesday, June 26th and again on Friday, June 28th.
"I am always happy to play at The Hurlingham Club and be close to UK tennis fans," Nadal said in a statement. "It is a prestigious ground in one of the best settings in the UK, making it the perfect way to warm up for Wimbledon."
The 18-time Grand Slam champion, who has been practicing on the grass courts of the Mallorca Open, played Hurlingham last year as well.
