After missing a whole year due to injury, Rafael Nadal has revealed when he will return to action. The 22-time Grand Slam tennis champion hasn’t participated in a match since sustaining a hip injury in January during his Australian Open second-round loss to Mackenzie McDonald.
After undergoing surgery in June, he has been steadily preparing for his comeback, which he now says will take place on New Year’s Eve at the Brisbane International, a major preliminarily to the Australian Open. Nadal stated in a video on X, a platform that was once known as Twitter, that it was time for him to return to competition after a year off. Next week, in January, it’s going to be in Brisbane. I’ll run into you there.
The legendary 37-year-old tennis player’s 18-year run in the top 10 ended in March, and he is currently rated 663rd in the world. After giving birth to her first child in July, 26-year-old four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka will also be making her comeback in Brisbane.
