World No. 1 Rafael Nadal lost today to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga a 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-1 in the quarter-finals of the AEGON Championships on Friday evening at The Queen’s Club.

World No. 1 Nadal arrived in London on Monday evening straight from winning his 10th Roland Garros crown on Sunday (d. Federer). The Mallorcan was bidding to regain the title he won at The Queen’s Club in 2008.

"I didn't play badly at the beginning," reflected Nadal. "He was serving really well. [In the] second set I had my chances, in my opinion. Probably after losing [the] second set mentally I lost my concentration. First game [of the third set] mentally [I was] a little bit tired. [I have played] a lot of matches in a row. And after that with the break in the third [set] it was a mountain for me to come back into the match.”

Rafa has also pulled out of doubles!  Vamos see you in Wimbledon & rest well Campeon!
