However, Nadal took to his Twitter account and confirmed that he has signed up for this year's Queen's Club Championships, which is slated to begin from June 18.
"I am very excited to communicate that I am going to come to Queen's in 2018. It is going to be the 10th anniversary of my victory in 2008, it's a great memory, winning there and three weeks later winning Wimbledon," Nadal said.
"It was an unforgettable year. I am very excited to be playing Queen's again," the 31-year-old Spaniard said.
Nadal won the French Open and Wimbledon either side of his 2008 Queen's title.
His 7-6 (8-6) 7-5 victory over Novak Djokovic in 2008 is regarded as one of the great matches at the west London venue and when he beat Roger Federer in five sets at Wimbledon later that summer he became the first man to win the three coveted championships in the same year since Bjorn Borg in 1980.
