The legendary Nadal is back. He has already chosen the tournament

One of the best tennis players in the world, Rafael Nadal, announced his return to the sport.

The Spanish athlete announced the high-profile event on his Twitter page.

According to the tennis player, he will take part in the ATP 250 hard tournament in Brisbane, Australia.

“After a year away from competition, it’s time to return to the court. I have decided to play at the Brisbane tournament in the first week of January 2024. I look forward to seeing everyone there,” Nadal said.

The tournament in the Australian city will take place from January 1 to 7. Athletes will compete for almost $2 million in prize money.

Let us remind you that the Spaniard was absent due to a serious injury. At the beginning of the summer, he had surgery on the iliopsoas muscle in his left leg.

According to initial forecasts, it was known that the Spaniard would need five months to recover.

The last match for 37-year-old Nadal was a fight against American Mackenzie McDonald in the 2nd round of the Australian Open on January 18 this year. Then the Spaniard lost in three games.
